I was talking to a guy friend of mine late one night over text message. Somehow it turned to how stubborn men can be, as a joke, I said that I had had enough of boys. His solution was to make a fort, out of blankets and pillows, and make a sign that said, "No guys allowed". Naturally, I took him up on the idea. Making my bed into the best fort I could imagine. This, of course, is what followed;
I've noticed that some people think life is about standing straight and tall, holding your head high, showing how mature you can truly be, and all that pristine nonsense. Even with two months before I turn eighteen, I still hold on to my light hearted child side. And I hope to keep it for many years to come. Let loose, take a running jump over a puddle, that skip step along a dirt road, playing a joke on a friend, even to hide in the bushes with your best friends. Without that, we are just another perfect face in a world that is far from perfect. The ones who show their true colors will be noticed, maybe in a bad way by some, but by many, a very good way.
