Friday night- Well Tripp and I became 'official.' Football lost, but that's okay. Lugoff had an amazing season and they proved so many people wrong, including myself. Plus, Ashley Ridge is going to get cut up next week by Northwestern!
Saturday- I got my Midlands team stuff, went to Florence with my mom and brother, met up with my papa and cousin. My papa and I saw Unstoppable (which was amaaazing!), then went on a verrry much needed shopping trip!, had Chick-fil-a, watched Carolina KILL Florida and become SEC-E champsssss!
Sunday- Well, I woke up surrounded by 16 balloons, mother made breakfast burritos! Then I watched Grown Ups with the family, went shopping with Mom, got new make-up and alla' dat good stuff. I also got surprised by Emily Benko- with a cute cake! I've gotten oven 200+ wall posts, and a whole lot of calls and texts. All of which I appreciate so, so, SO much!
I'm just sixteen, but so many people have asked me if I feel any different. Well, I want to feel different. My life is changing so much right now- I'm another year older, I've quit softball, I now play for a volleyball club I use to swear I'd never play for, I've got a boyfriend who I adore, I might be getting a job, my mom might be getting a new job, my best friend who I've lost touch with this past school year moves to ohio in sixty-one days...
Right now it seems minutes are taking days to pass, but days are passing like minutes. I want to take advantage of the time I have- focusing on relationships from family to friends to God. I take things/people for granted and I've realized that has to stop! Someone asked me tonight how old I was, they had no clue. They say I act really mature for my age and I was way to awesome to just be sixteen. But it's completely possible. Sometimes I want to just be immature, be stupid, be ignorant. I can't though, I've had to grow up. There's a little girl out there who looks up to me in every way possible. She's my entire world and every decision I make, I base around her. The thought of being a bad example to her breaks my heart. I stress out too much, I worry too much, I care too much. I'm about as far from perfect as it gets.
I know that wasn't very birthday related, but honestly. I like attention, but I don't crave it and I definitely don't crave to be the center of attention. A day dedicated to me just seems selfish..? Anyways- I'm SO thankful for everyone and anyone who helped make my birthday as amazing as it was!
A majority of my lyrics probably come from Matt Kearney if you haven't noticed. He's by far one of my favorite artists.
'Cause I would take a bullet for you
I would take a bullet for you
I would cross any line, I'd swim across the sea
I would take a bullet for you
I would take a bullet for you
I would lose it all, I'd take my fall
To show you it's for real
