When you're growing up, you only think a certain way. That life is a storybook that has already been written for you. The villians are the robbers and the heroes are the police officers. The world was a simple concept to grab ahold of: eat, do your homework, take showers, and play. Once you hit that tween phase, where you're not really a teen but not a child anymore and your body starts to change, well that's the phase that I'm talking about. People stop sheltering you and you start to realize that the world is much more complicated. People can hurt you on purpose and have no feelings towards it, well you learn that those are the villians now. And the heroes? Well they become you're best friends, the ones that help you through this awkward phase of life. Then you become a teenager and you learn about love. Yes, you've now reached the "love" part in the story. You fall in love for the first time and it's like nothing you've felt before. You enjoy what it's like and then you experience your first heartbreak and learn that fairytales do not teach it right. Fall in love once doesn't mean you've found your prince charming yet. And this is when you hit the climax, when you enter adulthood. When you realize that you can't live in a fairytale all your life maintaining an innocence that you have to let go. This is when you venture out on your own and experience things first hand that you've only been hearing about until this moment. It's when you're given the freedom that you have always longed for. It's when you start to write the story yourself.
Live for the experience, because experience will always be the best teacher. - Alan Reese
