#ad it’s a lot to grow up, years of things to process, memories and moments that are completely indescribable. i only hope, no matter how much i grow and change, i never lose my sense of whimsy. i hope i continue to see the beauty in the world around me, and i hope i can learn to see the beauty in myself. i never imagined i would make it this far, where i would be doing what i do now. yet, since i first thought that, it has become easier and easier each year. i now cherish the time i have. despite being afraid of what’s to come, i am also very excited. i am not perfect, i have a lot to learn, but i hope the universe continues to guide me to the person i will become. and i hope, when i someday meet him, he will be happy i existed.
