6. If it hadn't been for love

When I was 7 I wanted to be 8. When I was 8 I wanted to be 12. When I turned 12 I just wanted to be 18. Always wishing I was older, wishing I was somewhere else, wishing I could remember and wishing I could forget too. Wishing I hadn't ruined so many good things because I was scared or bored. Wishing I wasn't so matter of fact all the time. Wishing I'd gotten to know my great grandfather more, and wishing I didn't know myself so well, because it means I always know whats going to happen in the end. Wishing I hadn't cut my hair off, wishing I was taller. Wishing I'd waited and wishing I'd hurried up as well.

Now I know where I am from and I know exactly where I'm going.

Today I'm very comfortable in my skin.
