Yeah!! Oooh exciting!!! I’ve had my temp permit for almost 3 years cuz my parents have been off and on about whether I’ll get my license before 18. 😂 Are you excited to get them or nervous? I can’t tell by the use of emojis… maybe both? XD
It is! (mostly XD) Yeah, I get that, I think it’s important that you get your license when you feel ready 🙂 Ahhhhh, yeahhhhh, probably a mix of both 😂 I mean, it’s a little nerve-wracking, but I also know it’s a part of growing up, and it’s just another step towards adulthood and that I need to do it, even if I don’t entirely feel like doing it, y’know? It’s that do-it-anyways-even-though-I-may-be-scared attitude that I got from my mom XD
This is very true! I think part of the sadness is that typically a kid my age is graduating. At this stage, I’d be moving out of the house, going to college, etc. a very different life than what I live rn. So I feel like I’m supposed to be sad but it’s not like right when I turn 18 my whole life is going to change. Everything will be the same for the most part, especially since I’m not planning on going to college.
Yep, totally normal!! Yeah, I totally get that! And I think it’ll be good for you, for things to not change so suddenly, I feel like that stresses a lot of young adults out. XD I meannnnnn, I’ve already looked a bit into college already, but truthfully, I still don’t know where God wants me to go yet, so I’m just waiting for his pull and enjoying the rest of school/childhood as long as I can 😊
Wow that turned into a rant…
XD That’s okay, I like listening to people, normally even more than talking to people, lol! I try to be here to listen to whoever needs me. Glad you feel comfortable talking to me about these things 😉❤️

It is! I mean, I was ready, but my parents didn’t feel like it was worth paying for classes, in-car stuff, etc. when I could wait a year or so and get my license without having to do any of that. Which makes sense! And agreed, it’s def a next step to growing up as you are free to do more things, get a job, hang out with people, etc. without having to worry about someone having to drive you. It also gives you a sense of more responsibility. But YOU GOT THIS! *whispers* the test is really easy if you study, and take advantage of the skipping questions thing, very helpful. 😉

Agreed, I have a lot of friends who have crazy lives rn in this transition. 😅 That’s good! I feel like so many kids feel burdened to figure out their “entire” lives by high school when in reality we just need to take it slow, listen to God’s voice in everything, and trust that He will make His will for us clear when He thinks it’s best. I’ve had SO many people ask me “So what are you going to do when your older?” “Where are you going to college?” etc. and I’m constantly telling ppl how I’m not feeling God calling me into something that requires college so I’m just pouring myself into the things/gifts He’s given me, and this is always mind-blowing to ppl that I don’t have everything laid out.

Haha, same actually. 😂 I’ve enjoyed seeing how everyone comes to you with things and you’re just very kind and truly care about everyone on here. ❤

Y’all mentioned college and I’m over here like “I’ve been thinking about college since seventh grade….” 😂 I think it’s because that was when my brother started looking into it, and I was like, hey, I wonder what college I wanna go to. And the crazy thing is, I already have one that I’m really interested in. 😅 I’m only going to be a freshman next year!!! 🤣
In all honesty, I think it’s just my personality. Like, I want to be prepared so I’m not like a senior in my final quarter and I’m scouring the internet for possible colleges. 😅 I think it’s also because I know someone who did only figure out what they were doing for college when they were a senior and I just couldn’t do that. 😬 But then that’s when just trusting God and listening for His calling and watching for His leading comes in. 😊
Anyway… (totally unnecessary rant… 😅)

*jumps in* XD
I also have no idea where I want to go or even if I do lol, it’s kind of my dream to be a full/part-time author someday but I also think painting would be really fun, like murals and stuff like that 😉 I don’t really know where college fits into that, but I could see myself getting a teaching degree maybe.
And yeah, my personality is kind of wait until the last minute to decide things 😂
Anyway… (totally unnecessary rant… 😅)
Yeah and I just did that too XD

May 26, 2023 at 10:26 am #145205Hey! And that’s okay too! I feel like there isn’t a ‘right’ time to force yourself to start thinking about college. For some, like you, they already know what they’d like to do in middle school! But for others, nothing is clear for them till the end of high school (or even after that!). But either way works. I think that as long as we’re not taking things into our own hands but being very intentional at listening for God’s voice in it all God will use both of these paths.
That’s so cool! And you want to paint murals?? AWESOME! I just painted a mural in my art room. 😂

May 26, 2023 at 10:39 am #145215Oh that’s so cool!!!!! What’s it of? I would ask for a pic, xD but 😅😅 I think they’re broken again 🫤
But yeah, I’ve never done it before but I feel like it would be really cool 😁

May 26, 2023 at 10:47 am #145217It’s just a design that looks like mountains or waves (my family disagrees on which of the two, my goal for the mural was the latter XD). I chose five different colors, four different shades of blue and a yellow. I’ll def send a pic once things are up and running again. 😉

Jsyk, I’m going to take a break for a while on the novella goals, because I’m currently writing a short story for an anthology. I should still be able to keep up with Healer and Zutora tho.
(I’m still doing Zutora I just don’t post them day by day. Also most sundays I won’t get a new chapter done, but the rest of the days goals should be the same(: )
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
May 27, 2023 at 8:27 pm #145397Ok!!
Is this the Healer anthology … with young Sorren and Dune??? 😆

May 27, 2023 at 8:31 pm #145398I have started on that, but it’s actually an anthology simply called Identity. I’m working on it along with different writers in YWW (Including crocheter12, who had the idea), and it’s about our identity in Christ. I’m doing a short story, but I can’t decide if I want to do a poem, because I’m not sure I have the, uhhhh…. poetic skill to do it XD
