The Best Year of My Life
I wanna be eighteen forever. Why? Cuz I've never felt so alive. I've never felt so confident, gone through as many of life's breakups, then risen back to my place, and higher. I've never felt so empowered to speak my truth and rise to occasions. Sure, I've had my moments and even weeks of feeling mopey and low, but I know with my whole heart that hope never fails. And with hope, I can't stay down.
I've had so many new experiences, from graduating, to a big friendship breakup, to getting my driver's license, to dating, to college, to my first breakup, to meeting my two biggest inspirations (Lila Rose of Live Action and Morgan Harper Nichols), to visiting Zion National Park, to suddenly writing poems upon poems, to launching Rise to Radiate, to telling the whole world my testimony. I'm not ashamed anymore. I've jumped from courage to boldness. I'm daring to obey the Spirit's guidance and share His love through my story, which He wrote.
So long, eighteen. Thank you for the lessons you've taught me, the beauty you've shown me, and the courage you've given me. And thank you, Jesus, for giving me your faithfulness as my confidence.
