Ever since we were children, we have been in a huge hurry to grow up. From wanting to look like the older kids to counting down the days until we started high school. Society has convinced everyone that we need to be in some huge rush to grow up. For a while I followed that same concept until one day I asked myself: why? Why should we want to go from riding a bike with training wheels to going 100 mph on a motorcycle faster than we can even keep up.
Instead of enjoying each year of our lives and living in the moments, we are pushed to try and become something we aren't even mature enough to be yet. I wish I would have taken more pictures during high school and I wish I would have just taken in every moment instead of always having to think about the future. Especially during my high school years, we were always asked about what we wanted to be when we grew up or where we wanted to go to college instead of asking us about our schools football team or simply how high school is going.
Maybe that's the problem with society today, they have convinced us the younger generations and the older ones that we need to always be worried about what's going to happen tomorrow. In reality we should be completely focused on today, you have no control over tomorrow so why spend every moment of today worried.
After spending so many years of my life being rushed into to being someone I wasn't ready to become yet, I am patiently taking my time. I am taking my time in becoming whoever I am destined to be. I don't want to become the girl who sits next to me in history class because she is not me and her life and her future will be perfect for her. Just like your life and your future will be perfect for every single one of you. That's why it is your future. Don't let anyone rush into picking a major, getting married, or even just meeting someone take your time you are in charge of your own destiny. I trust that with my life in Gods hands everything will turn out just right. So I don't know about anyone else but I am in absolutely no rush.
