16

I turned sixteen today. This is a really big thing for me. Not only did I turn sixteen on the sixteenth or two thousand and sixteen but I have always wanted to be sixteen.

I really don't know why as a little girl I dreamed of being sixteen, but I did. Maybe it was because sixteen was my golden birthday, or maybe I just wanted to be old but still young. Either way, I am sixteen now and don't quite know how to handle it. I have been waiting for this birthday forever and now it's almost over. 

The last sixteen years of my life have been a roller coaster ride. I don't really remember much of when I was super young, but I remember last year. :) Being sixteen and looking back on my life, I see so many things about myself I didn't know. Things that are good, and things that are bad. But I must except who I am.
So many great and amazing people have poured into my life over the past years. They have taught me and made me into the person I am today. I love them all for that. I hope that I make them all proud.
Since I spent so many years of my life having the goal of being sixteen, that I should have no goal now. But that's not true. My goal now is to be a better version of me. I love myself but there are parts of me that need to change. I want to change them and I am okay with changing them.
So here is to the years to come! Thank you to everyone who has poured into me! I love y'all!
