My 20th birthday is fast approaching and I don't know how I feel about that. I realize that a year is a period of time devised by man, but something about not being a teen anymore just seems so strange. I realize I'm still young but the permanent removal of "teen" from my age is so permanent. I have to begin to accept the fact that two years from now I will have to be prepared to seriously begin my career and adult life. I'm just going to let things play themselves out and accept what life gives me, but it's the anticipation and uncertainty that causes my mind to wonder now.
