"Second to the Right and Straight on 'Till Morning!"

I've decided that growing up is overrated. I kind of want to be a kid for the rest of my life. Why are we so obsessed with getting older and become adults? I don't want to have to pick a career and be in charge of insurance bills and car payments. Peter Pan has it good, dear readers. Hopefully this is just a phase of life that will pass soon. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow longing for lots of babies and responsibility. Not bloody likely...

So, I am a mentor for the freshman and sophomore girls at my youth group along with a couple of my best friends. Yesterday, we were sitting around just chatting about our lives and somehow the subject of boyfriends came up. The girls ask me if I had a boyfriend, to which I replied "Nope, I'm a loser." Why did I say that? Why do I think that? I know, deep down, that I'm not a loser. It's ridiculous how dependent we are on other people to feel like accomplished human beings. It's almost like we feel like we need the approval of another person, or else we are nothing. In all seriousness, I am a smart and capable person. I guess I could have dated in high school, but it just didn't happen. I am determined to overcome this mindset ....or become a nun.

I've recently fallen in love with the song "Boats and Birds" by Gregory and the Hawk. Go listen to it. :)

Sorry this post is so short. Life is fairly uneventful right now, but once it picks up I will be sure to notify you all.

I really hope it snows soon.
