A milestone in childhood, when I was a child, was digging around in the house and outside of the house to find enough change to purchase a small paper bag full of candy from Guardino's Neighborhood Market.
A milestone in adolescence, when I was an adolescent, was slipping into Danielle's room without her noticing and managing to completely get ready using her hair products, her crusty curling iron, and her makeup without her noticing.
A milestone in adolescence, when I was an adolescent, was manipulating the situation so that Danielle manages to get into trouble right before spending the night at her friend's house so mom forces her to bring me along as punishment.
A milestone in young adulthood, when I was a young adult, was realizing that you are incapable of failing because my definition of failure was not being me. I loved realizing that I was the one that got to define failure.
A milestone in young adulthood, when I was a young adult, was realizing you don't need high school to find a true circle of friends. True friends are everywhere, in every stage of life.
A milestone in adulthood, since I've been an adult, has been realizing that people are around you for a reason, people are teaching you things everyday. Even when your heart is ripped out when they are taken away, you learn how to learn from their experiences and be thankful for the gifts they are awarding you in their absence.
A milestone in adulthood, since I've been an adult, has been learning that hope will be with you for the rest of your life. There is always something to hope for, something to aspire to, you can always change, learn, grow and improve who you are and become the best person you can be.
In the milestones, there are keywords that show your growth:
Childhood - Figuring out, Finding
Adolescents - Manipulation
Young Adulthood - Realizing
Adulthood - Learning, Changing, Growing
I am a thankful person for my life.
