When?

When you learn high school isn’t about getting through it, or even graduating, but who you’re going to be for the rest of your life.

When you love someone with every fiber of your being.

When you look back and ask, “where’d that kid go?”

When you could cry for a lifetime of wrong doings, but instead push past it every morning.

When you know life isn’t fair.

When you finally wish you won’t grow up.

When you feel like throwing temper tantrums like a baby.

When you curl up in bed.

When you realize you can choose your family.
