Sweet 16!
And never been Kissed?!?!
IT’S MY SWEET 16
EVERYONE!!!! Well not quite… but almost!
I don’t feel any
different yet… But it does seem like a big jump. Like when I went from 14 to 15
I was like… “whoa” it was kind of like moving from older preteen to full blown
teen… now it’s like “dude” I’m fixing to be 16!! It’s kind of like being stuck
between two different worlds again like you were when you were 12 or 13 except
now I’m between teen and young woman/adult.
I can’t wait for
another year in my life! Not that it’s interesting or anything. But I can’t
ever wait to see what is going to happen in the next 12 months. For me, my
birthday is the start to a new year. It’s always felt that way. And it is. It’s
the day you came into this world! It’s the start of your life. It’s the start
of another year for you. It’s exciting and nerve wrecking all at the same time.
Especially turning 16…. It’s probably just all hyped up. And it may not meet
our expectations. But that’s alright. We can make it the best year of our life
if we want to! It may not seem like the best now or 4 months from now. But when
you’re 40 you may look back and say: “yep that was a great time in my life.”
Just because you have a few bumps or maybe even mountains you have to make it
through, over or around doesn’t mean it’s not going to be great. I’ve always heard
‘whatever doesn’t kill you can only make you stronger’ your hard times are
going to give you character.
I’ve heard many people
say this is going to be the best time of your life! I can see that in a way.
You’re still young enough to have all kinds of fun that you may not be able to enjoy
when you’re older. But you also will have more responsibilities. This can both
be a good and a bad thing. (Not like horrible bad.) It means that your parents and others are
going to start to see that you’re growing up and can handle a little extra responsibility.
But it also means you are going to start losing some of your young freedom and
will not have time to just goof off and be crazy every minute of the day. You
are now expected to start acting like a young adult at times. (I know - sounds
boring right? But it’s all a part of growing up, I guess.)
Now let’s see…
I’m 16 and………
Never been kissed! Well….
Actually I did receive my first kiss from my, Beau. He’s so handsome! He stands
over 6ft tall…
His kiss was all wet
and slobbery…. It just about covered my whole face!!!
Did I mention, Beau,
was a horse?? =D
Never held a boys hand……
Does this seem innocent in your eyes? Well if you’re cool with it- sure thing
go right ahead! But I feel that it’s a very romantic gesture. Call me old fashioned
all you want. ‘Cause you know what?! I AM! ;P I am so very old fashioned in
soooo many ways!
Never had a boyfriend.
(shocker right? I like it this way actually.)
I MUST be deprived
right??? Or maybe I have really mean and strict parents! In my opinion; not really. I quite like the
way my life has turned out so far. And my parents are definitely NOT mean. They set standards that they would
like me to live by. Nobody’s perfect so of course I’m not going to hit the mark
every time. But I sure like to try!! I
have never once regretted not having a boyfriend.
While most of the
girls around me have been with guys since we were like 11 or 12 all it ever
seemed to do to them is break their hearts and they’re left to try and pick up
the pieces of their heart… or what’s left to
pick up. And me? Well I’m always there if they need a shoulder to cry on, or
someone to vent to, or just make them laugh and forget whatever happened. I
always thought the whole idea was pretty stupid. In modern dating all that ever
seems to happen is heartbreak! Why is that? I don’t know. Maybe because some
don’t take the time to get to know each other before they get together or in
some cases “hook up”… Now I’m not saying this always happens! But sometimes it
does. And it seems to happen way too often.
But I’m 16 now! I can
date!!!..... Says everyone else. I still don’t want a boyfriend. It’s way too
much to deal with while I’m still in school and trying to get my life on the
right track. I want to concentrate on graduating high school, then college, and
working on my dancing career (If there is one… I just want to share my love for
dance with others!) Boys would be waaay to much time and effort. More than I’m
willing to put in at the moment.
Now if God puts the
right guy in my path and says ~ HEY! Look there’s your man!~ And if he tells me
it’s the time then I’ll go for it. Other than that- nope I don’t have any plans
of starting a relationship till later on. =D
Everyone has told me
my WHOLE life… you’ll change your mind… You’ll change your mind when your
12. You won’t
feel that way when your 13… Just WAIT till your 14. Well your 15 now I’m sure
you’ll change your mind. Just wait you’ll see…
I am now 16 and can
still proudly say with my head held high that I have never had a boyfriend.
Maybe I’ll go scream that from the rooftops on my birthday. Why you ask? Because
it will be funny and I am proud that I have made it 16 years without a guy in
my life. I don’t need someone else to hold me up or to tell me every second of
the day that I’m beautiful.(I am also not implying that is all a boyfriend is
for. I know they can be there to love and protect you. But that’s not my point
right now.) I’m not saying I don’t need
that reassurance every once in a while. But that’s what my Heavenly Father is
for. He tells me every single morning just what he thinks!
When I wake up he’s like~ Good mornin’ darlin’,
how are you feelin’ today? You know you’re beautiful right? You may not always
love every part of yourself. But I do. You want to know why? Because you are
fearfully and wonderfully made. You were made in my image. I never made a
mistake with you. You are perfect in my eyes. Don’t ever forget that.
God’s trying to tell
you this- sweetheart you know that birthmark above your lip that you hate so
much? I put it there for a reason. You may not see it now… But everything I do
has a purpose. I think it looks cute on you. I love you! Never forget that.
No matter what it is that you don’t like about yourself.
Just remember this- you are not made to look like the supermodels in the
magazines. They are not made to look like that either! If you ever saw them up
close you would see they have imperfections just like you and me. And also remember
this- you don’t need a guy to tell you you’re beautiful. Because you have a
Father in heaven that loves you just the way you are. No matter what. He’ll
always be there for you!
You probably think I’m
the slightest bit crazy right about now, huh? You’re probably right! ;D I am a
bit crazy at times! But you still love me! Don’t bother denying it. One day I will meet the right guy and when I do..well who knows? I pray we both seek God in keeping it real & putting Him first. <3
Anyways guys! I love you all! Thanks for readin’! Tell your
friends. Share please! Put it on Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace (do people

Peace, Love, and Happiness,
