"We are young only once, after that we need some other excuse. ~Author Unknown"
On the last day of this month I will be 18. Yesterday I was ranting to a friends about how I have a feeling that my birthday is going to be horrible. I went on and on about it. Then today at the end of my AP Lit class I stayed after to take a test I had missed and a friend stayed with me. While I was taking my test she got a phone call telling her her grandmother had died. This means that her mother will have to fly out to Columbia, missing my friends birthday. That is not that bad but on top of that her family is already in debt from the bills for the grandmothers hospital bills and other resent flights. Plus he father could care less about her birthday, and any money she gets for her birthday goes to paying for a school book she had lost. I could go on and on about the bad things that are happening to her around her 18th birthday. This made me realize that I need to stop doing what I do. I need to stop assuming that things are going to suck. (My favorite book is Perks of Being a Wallflower, and the character in the book stresses the fact that you should never say that "there are people out there worst off then you" because it can make you feel like your less then.) So I wont say "it could be worst" but I will just say that I need to remember that I make my day the way it is.-meliss
