Don't Rush
If i could say something to the past,
i would let fourteen-year-old me that sometimes I'm sick of being an adult. It can be stressful waking up daily with the complete responsibility of having to make decisions for my life and others depending on me.
What a wonder if I could be back in my grandmother's house knowing there was always food in the pantry and a ride to school.
Now I'm the one having to provide the food for the pantry and rides to school
It's not everything we thought it would be...
even though gaining age and wisdom is definitely a blessing
I just wish fourteen-year-old me had cherished being the one taken care of.
Sure it's an indescribable feeling to come back home to your own home that purchased solely with the purchase power of your own progress
Or how I can wake up and eat whatever I want.
Cake for breakfast? Sure.
30 dollar brunch? Ok.
Party til three a.m.? Who gon' check me?
The possibilities of an adult life are endless...sort of...
The week of August 15-21, I have committed to writing daily to support InsideOut's Write-A-Thon fundraiser. By writing for one week and asking for your support, we will help to share the gift of voice for a lifetime with students!
Since 1995, InsideOut Literary Arts has helped Detroit’s youth build their literary and academic skills through creative writing. By working with professional writers, students learn to think broadly, create bravely and share their voices with the wider world. Learn more and become inspired at insideoutdetroit.org
Will you join me in supporting InsideOut Literary Arts by making a donation to my Write-A-Thon fundraiser? I hope to raise $750 and every dollar helps! InsideOut Literary Arts is a 501c3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.
Thank you!
