Sometimes, people tell me to act my age.
I am. All the time.
People just fail to realise the fact that I'm 18. I'm ONLY 18.
so what if people start learning how to drive cars and drink alcohol and hit the club every other night?
the fact is, I'm not even a quarter way through with my left.
Let me do what I like and put effort into what I love.
because I know I'm not there yet. I'm not ready to take on the world. I'm not ready to put on a strong front and carry the weight of my family on my shoulders no.
but I am willing. no matter how difficult the task is, how insurmountable it seems.
but for now, before it all hits, before the world thrusts it's ugly face into my world, laying waste to everything precious to me, let me live the way I want to.
Let me be a child.
