Growing Up

So yesterday I was talking to my mom about all of the things going wrong in my life. In response to all the political b.s. going on, I had to vent to someone. She, unfortunately, was the only one around at that time. I told her about how I was tired living in an area where my opinions aren't respected, and that I feel persecuted for having my own morals. To that she responded with," Well I think you might be growing up Bethany.". And I guess that might just be true. Growing up is a scary thing, but realizing that I'm on my own, and that I'm here to find my future...I am getting older.

Turning 20 scares me, and I don't like thinking about it. My best friend turned 20 about 3 months ago, and keeps telling me how awful it truly is. I'm not ready to to grow up in the literal sense, but as for the mental state of mind...

I've become an old woman...
