something a little moody for your monday

That five year old girl woke up with messy hair and a big smile. That five year old girl sat at her desk and wrote out a big list of big dreams, and was determined to accomplish every one of them. Because when you're five, anything is possible. There was nothing holding her back.

A couple years went by, and that five year old girl was now an eleven year old girl. She still woke up with messy hair, but her smile had gotten a little smaller. She stared at her big list of dreams doubtfully, wondering if she dreamed a little too big.

She was now a sixteen year old girl. She couldn't remember the last time she woke up with a smile; she had tired eyes and a ruptured heart from all the events that had taken place within the past years. Her big list of dreams was now in several pieces, scattered accross her bedroom floor. She sat at her desk once again, the white paint worn from use. She scribbled out a new list, but it was not a list of dreams. This new list contained life lessons.

***LIFE LESSONS TO NEVER FORGET***
