The thing about growing up
is you don't realize that it's
happened
until you come across a photo on your phone
finger hovering over the delete button
and it's you and your best friend
laughing
the one that you haven't spoken to in
four years.

The thing about growing up
is you don't realize that it's happened
until you try on an old pair of jeans and
they don't fit
anymore
and you start to wonder what made you care about people's
opinions.

The thing about growing up
is you don't realize that it's
happening
until you're spinning in circles and falling over
and laughing like you're eight
again
But then you remember people might be watching
And you'll never be eight again.

Hey! I'm back! I wrote this awhile ago, but this feels more true than ever. Can anyone else relate? 😳
Also, I've started selling book covers! I just published "Book Covers (FOR SALE)" and I would love if you'd check that out, even if you're not writing a book. I make covers for a few different genres and I'd love to hear which one is your favorite 😝
