Finally!

My finger bones are stiff, my feet are cold, and I use four blankets at night! I've been waiting for the cold weather all year long. I'm excited for the holidays and in a way, even my birthday. I have no reason to anticipate my birthday but I always have that small bit of hope. That's something I always am: a little bit hopeful.

But I think maybe it'll be different this year. I have great friends and an overall positive mentality. Besides, according to the government, I become an adult in 20 days. It's a bit exciting....yet frightening at the same time. I'm so young...I'm so old.

I want to get away and part of me wants to go off to college to "start over" like most people want, but honestly, I'd rather not. I'm not ready to begin a new chapter in my life. I just love everybody so much. I'm finally content with my chosen family and I'm not ready to give them up. I haven't been given enough time.

Whatever, I'll just have to wait to see where the fall of the spring season takes me.
