Why is it that time flies significantly faster when you're out of grade school? It's weird how much I've grown and adapted (by force), and how the little things of high school are laughable now. I've gone from worrying about if so and so liked me to paying for rent, car repairs, and bills. Even though I get stressed out, flat out depressed, and angry.. I like the present way more than the past. On a good day I feel peaceful, wise, and accomplished. Compared to this time last year; when a good day meant my bangs were perfect, a cute boy had just commented on my pixXxXxXand I had the car for the weekend.
