Time keeps on slippin'... slippin.'

16 candles.

I wonder who decided that there was something really special about being 16. I mean, 18 you are an adult, 20 is a new decade, 21 you can drink...but 16 does not really mean much. I guess it means that you can drive, true...but hmm. Being 16 always seemed fun to me. Sorta magical? Yes. Even though it's probably not. It has only been about 5 days and nothing feels that different. I feel like I was already 16 for a while before my actually birthday. I always could not wait to be 16! It sounded like so much fun, especially for a lady. I feel like 15 was my 16 if that makes sense. That's when a lot more happened. I got a job, a lot more privileges...all that stuff. I can't really speak though, because I have only been 16 for so long. It's just truly mind-boggling to realize how fast time travels. Especially when you don't think about it. I know that this goes through everyone's minds. Time. Hang on to it while you have it! Especially with school coming up around the corner, time becomes your worst enemy. I hope time and I can become friends this school year. 16 years. Wow. I am young. I am going to take advantage of my youth while I can.
