18 and 21 aren't the magic numbers they're portrayed to be - we all grow up in our own time - I still have a whole bunch of growing to do, and I'm more than 4 years on from you - age is just a construct society likes to impose on us - there are a bunch of cultures where people don't have a clue how old they are - makes more sense to me.
*hug* I know it's scary, just hang in there hun...

Hey sweetie. I am so sorry you are scaredof getting older. I was scared when I was turning 18, but then when I turned 21, I just let go, and embraced the child within me. For example, I go to college, and I work, but yet durring my free time I act like a kid 24/7! Please hang in their. I promise. It will get better!

Hey, I made it through that, and I'm nearly 20!

There is nothing wrong with growing up. There are a lot of cool things when you're older. You can have your own place, and make friends at a cool job. I'm going to school and really am excited about learning more about what I love.

Why are you so scared to grow up?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
