18...

Well, the day has finally come. Yes, the big 18! 

My last 5 birthdays I have been away from home and family. This is bittersweet because I'm celebrating at home with my family. 



I find myself in the in between so to speak. Feeling like I want to stay in my shelter bubble of life and wanting to bust out on my own at the same time. It's a scary prospect but I think I'm ready for the big beautiful world. Hope it's ready for me.


"I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman"

I used to think
I had the answers to everything,
But now I know
Life doesn't always go my way, yeah...
Feels like I'm caught in the middle
That's when I realize...

I'm not a girl,
Not yet a woman.
All I need is time,
A moment that is mine,
While I'm in between.

I'm not a girl,
There is no need to protect me.
It's time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own.
I've seen so much more than you know now,
So don't tell me to shut my eyes.

I'm not a girl,
But if you look at me closely,
You will see it in my eyes.
This girl will always find
Her way.
