20 Years Old

And so, my sweet childhood days are officially over. The time has come for me to start taking full responsibility for myself. As I child, I had always longed for this day. The day that I would be grown up. When I would finally be who I wanted to be and I would have a house and a car and live the way I always wanted to live. And yet somehow, somewhere along the way, I found I did not know what I wanted. And so I have remained hidden in my little corner of the world, trying to figure out... just what do I want to be now that I am grown up? And the more and more I think about it, the more and more I realize what I truly want to be. I want to be like a child, seeing the world as an adventurous place. I want to sail the seas and be a pirate. I want to hide in the shadows as a ninja. I want to fight the evil dragon and save the princess. I want to fly in a steamship until I can see the clouds below. I want to hunt for treasure, discover ancient civilizations, and the invent the world's first something or other. I want to learn whatever there is to learn about culture and environment in every time in every place and I want to live in it and see it and breathe the air that they breathed. Yes. I know what I want to become. I have known it from the beginning. As a matter of fact, I have always been what I want to be. I don't wish for anything more, nor anything less. I was, am, and will always be, a dreamer.
