> But I don't feel old enough to be this old... does that make sense? What I mean is, I'm eighteen minus 18 days, but I feel twelve and I'm developing crow's feet already.

*HUGS*

I know what you mean. Exactly. Thought I guess my situation is somewhat different. I'm a year older than you are. The weird Ontario school system has its good points. I actually feel kinda ready for this. Maybe. I'm not really going that far. I'll be home fairly often I think.

But I feel like I'm 9 years old.

I've been looking in the mirror and not recognising myself at all. I like what I see I guess but who ever it is that I see in my mirror is not me. Then today I cleaned out my closet and found a package of pictures of myself dated 1991.

And there I was.

That little girl biting her lip and posing for the camera. That was me in the funny sweater and the big geeky glasses.

I don't feel like the person that everyone sees...that I see when I look in a mirror. I feel like I'm 9 years old.

But I'm leaving home on Sunday.
