I want to be ready to accept someone into my life again. But I know that I can't do that right now. I need to finish off high school, settle into my new life as a young adult, get used to who I am again, find a job, a purpose... and then, maybe he'll stumble into my life. I'm done with these stupid high school relationships. I refuse to get all tangled up in them again. They're awful. The boys think with their dicks, the girls think with their estrogen levels. I feel something inside me changing, growing stronger, building, glowing. Maybe its me, as an adult. I'm growing up and out of this teenage life, out of these chains that bind me to my parents. I'm finally blossoming into someone I can be comfortable with, someone who doesn't need to look in the mirror or rely on how many likes I get on Facebook. A doctor. A mother. That's what I want.

I'm ready to start my life.
