There's no need to rush

I realized something today while driving to Target with a group of my friends.

I am in no rush to grow up.

I sat in the car listening to to everyone talking about life after graduation and I realized I don't want to do it just yet. I realized how relieved I am that I did get set back with my college education because had I not I would have graduated this past spring and been forced into the "real world" with everyone else I know...and I'm just not ready for it.

I feel like it's something that everyone still expects. You grow up, move out of your parents home to go to college, graduate, get a rockin' job, get married, and have children.

But my question is, what's the rush?

I sat in this little Honda Civic with three of my friends talking about marriage, student loans being paid off, and salary jobs. All of which I am in no hurry to have to deal with.

For some people, that's just how they see their life going, ironically enough I used to think that was how I wanted my life to go. But it's like I had a huge break through, and epiphany, all in the span of a few hours.

It's as if my panic attack inducing fear of being alone for the rest of my life is *poof* gone.

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
