Forever Young: I Wanna Be, Forever Young

So, tonight is the eve of my birthday. I'm feeling a bit wistful, especially because I keep listening to "Young Forever" by Jay-Z (great song by the way). Now, I understand that I'm not old by any stretch of the imagination, however, I can't help but think that I'm older than I feel. I remember when my brother was a junior in high school, he seemed so old and mature. I don't feel that old or that mature. A fourth of my life might be over at this very moment. Alas, I have to apply for colleges soon. Just because I don't feel that old doesn't mean life is going to cut me any slack. However, I move forward, ready to take on the challenge. As much as I'd like to stay young forever, it's just not going to happen, so I have to learn to love the aging process because it ain't going away. Let's do this! I'll be 17 in 10 hours and 9 minutes, I can't wait.

Cheers all,
