As

a kid I liked to play outside, inside and my head was always in the clouds daydreaming.

There was no stress other than not being good at reading and well public speaking was something I wanted to avoid.

As I became a teenager there was lots of stress with homework and what not to do. To stay on the right track and still have fun.

And one day to be done with high school and go on to college, so many plans and so many of them changed overtime.

To becoming an adult and realizing so much time had gone by and now stress was like my best friend always around.

I’m still daydreaming but, my eyes are more open to things going on around me and my heart more protected than before.

So many stages in life to go through but, if I didn’t go through them would I truly be me right now.

Someone who cares but doesn’t sit around waiting for anyone to come to their senses.

I am still a kid at heart but, now I have so many responsibilities that I must be an adult to who does what I need to do and to not let anyone get in my way.
