Just 19.

Oh I am young but I have aged.
Waited long to seize the day.
All things said and plenty done,
Oh I am young but I have a past.
Traveled far to find the start.
Yes I am scared and I've been burnt.
But life is short.

Could this be the day I've waited for?

Hm. This speaks to me, especially with how I've been feeling lately. I love that she says "I am young, but I have aged....I am young but I have a past."

Being young might mean that we have LESS experience, but it by no means means that I have NO experience. I've been on this earth long enough to have had some life happen to me. But, I must say, these past two months, I've really enjoyed just being....19. Not 25 or 40. Not running a million things and being in roles where everyone, of different ages looks up to me. Just going to school, work and church (for enjoyment, not to work) has been great. I can feel that I'm starting to get back to where I was before. I have my priorities straight, looking to the future, and just being 19. I've been burnt, and I am still scared, but it's not making me back down anymore. For a while, I was so scared that last year would happen again I shut down from everything; then once I realized I was doing that, I jumped full force into too many things and it almost did happen again. But now, life is balanced. Or, its getting there at least. I can feel it.
I might be just 19, but that's old enough for me right now.
