Today was not just about turning another year older

It was about the 12 year old girl who swore she would never even see 13

The girl who found herself in the middle of her journey and wanted to give up

The girl who could never envision her future because she did not want one

 

Somewhere inside of me are those girls

And today they all got to see me become an adult

Every single girl saw where their battles brought them

Distant, undreamt of lands full of possibilities and responsibilities

Here’s to them, and here’s to 18
