Year #16

Well, another birthday has come and gone. A new journey is on the way and I must make tougher decisions, worse mistakes, and greater accomplishments. I will never be fifteen again, and although it was fun while it lasted, I'm happy to be moving on with my life. When I was little, I thought that a sixteen year old would know everything, and have her entire life all figured out. But if anything, I'd say it's more complicated and confusing, and it was back then that I knew what I truly needed in life. But no matter. I will never get that back, no matter how hard I try. I'm sixteen now, I might as well enjoy it before it slips from my fingers. I wonder, why do we celebrate birthdays? How did it all start? And why every year? Why not every month, or every decade? Food for thought.
Speaking of celebrations, I certainly started my sixteenth year with a BANG!! And no, not a bang, a BANG!! I think I figured out this year that I have waaaaaay too many friends. What a disaster! But it was fun, anyway. But I say this: If you're wondering what you should do as an activity for some teenagers, and you have the right house for it, you can never go wrong with hide-and-go-seek. I tried to teach my friends some cool games (like Nertz), but they're all too.... not normal... but not weird either.... I don't know how to explain it. They're just too much of something and not enough of something else to really enjoy my games. But no matter, my friends enjoyed themselves (I think) and that's all that really matters.
