Ten Years From Now

Ten years from now.... I'm going to be happy. And the things that don't matter, aren't going to matter anymore. And the things that do, are... See, ten years from now I'm just gonna smile. Smile, because I'll meet a new person everyday. Smile, because I'll spend time spending. Not worrying- No worrying (because everyone worries too much). No, nothing like that. Because I'm gonna be happy... I really am.

See, ten years from now you won't recognize me...because then... it'll be different. I'm not gonna be afraid. I'm going to love. I'm going to laugh (cough cough- because it's not a bad thing to laugh). I'm going to do everything I said I would never do. I'm going to be open. I'm going to be honest. I'm going to live life to the fullest. No restrictions- no holding back- Because at the end of the day... I'm gonna be happy. I'm gonna go home to a family. A husband. Someone like a best friend, someone who'll protect me. And maybe a child? Someone I'm going to baby, someone I'm going to spoil, someone I'm probably gonna be a really bad mom to, but still, someone I'm gonna really care about. They're going to love me, and I'm going to love them. And everything is gonna alright.

Ten years from now... I'm gonna go to work. But it won't really be like work- I'm gonna be happy with what I'm doing so I'll call it something else than a "job." I'm gonna learn. And I'm gonna grow. Stop being stubborn. Stop being stuck-up. Stop living in my own world. I'm gonna give something back. I'm not gonna be selfish- nope, not like me now. I'm gonna live for God. I'm gonna serve.That's why you won't recognize me at all. Nope, because things are gonna be different then.

Ten years from now... the world's not gonna revolve around school. Not around As, Bs, Chemistry, AP World. It's not gonna revolve around making time to finish homework. It's not gonna have to be minus a phone call or a day at the park with friends because life's gonna be more important. I'm gonne be happy. Really happy. Because I'm gonna take off the suffocating suit and wear a nice little dress. Ten years from now, each day is gonna matter. Friends are gona matter. God is gonna matter. And when I feel like relationships are growing apart, I'm gonna be able to say "Sorry, I wasn't spending time with you yesterday, but today, today, if you want to, me and you, we can do whatever we want. Because that what really matters."
