When I was little, I was different than I am today. Although some things have changed, others have not. Because my parents were always with me, we grew a close bond, which will never be broken. Because of my precociousness, I learned of certain characteristics and qualities, of which I will never break free from. If life was today like it was then, many things would be different, but it is not. Since I have been hurt so many times, concealment has overcome me, and I have opened both my heart and mind to few. Before thirteen, I was happier, healthier, and freer. Since an older age is upon me, I have realized the responsibilities I have to both myself and other people. Since I have grown older, I have become afraid of what lies beyond and what lies in front of me. Because we cannot go back in time, we must move forward. Because fourteen is fast approaching, my judgement will be further clouded, my heart further subdued, and my mind further manipulated. Since I am strong, I must fight for what matters, and become the person I am meant to be. When I am older, I aspire to be better than I am now. When I am older, true love will await. Until that time, I am going to find myself. Since every destination has a journey, the train will be leaving at five; come along for the ride.
