Whats all the hype?


THE BIG 25!!

I remember when turning twelve was the coolest thing ever!!
I was so excited to be twelve! I was gonna conquer the world.
I was gonna be cool. yea right. Then came 16. That was super!
I was almost an adult. And the boys were looking cuter and cuter!.
Before i knew it i was 18. Yay! i was an adult. and we could go to the
casino...why would i want to go there? waste of time!
And it was all the rage to be 21 because oooo you can drink.
Ba! Whatever!

But 25. Now that is a big deal. Everyone gets you all hyped up
for 16, 18, and even 21. Those are cake walks.
Psh. Im telling you get excited for 25.
What is so great about reaching 25? I'll tell you.

At 25 you:
-know who you are
-have experience. REAL experience.
-know the type of parent you want to be.

-are an adult! (woo i did it!)
-make your own choices.

-are more like your parents then you ever thought you'd be and that's a good thing.
-love visiting your grandparents.
-have dreams that are attainable.
-talk to yourself and aren't embarrassed.
-understand love.
-are o.k. with setting an example.
-have a fashion sense.

-know how to savor the moment.
-enjoy creation.

-enjoy getting together with your family.

Age is a number. That is all. It doesn't define who we are.
When you see me is the first thing you think of: Oh look she's 25!
(well you will now because i wrote that! :P) Or do you think:
She is fun, crazy, has a handle on things, and knows where
shes going in life.

How do you want to be defined? By a number?
or do you want people to see you for who you are?
where you've been? how you've gotten to where you are today?

My Grandpa is over 80 years old. When i see him i dont
see that number. I see a man who is full of love. He loves his
kids. He has been places we could only imagine. When he talks
he takes you to a different time like you were there with him.

Age is not a number not a definition.

How are you defined?
