And choices are what makes our lifes. No choices? No life.

I think when we realize that our whole life is made up of personal choices, that’s when we’ve truly reached adulthood. And that’s a really great thing.

I took the quiz and I’m a Bette, too! I stumbled upon your blog a while ago and have enjoyed reading it. We seem to be in similar places in life (age, newlywed status, puppy parent, diet, etc) and yet countries away. It’s great to have someone to relate to. Thanks for sharing your stories and experiences with the digital community!

Very well written. For a long time, I didn’t accept the bad things that happened to me as a result of the choices I made, as if fate decided to crap out on me that day. Once I accepted that I’m the controller of my own destiny, not ‘fate’ or ‘chance,’ it changed my entire outlook on life.

Agreed with the previous commentors: very thoughtful and eloquent.

I, however, don’t relish “growing up”. I miss the snow days, the nights when 11:00 PM was “late” (and not because I had to work in the morning), the bagged lunches with Soda Licious instead of hummus and tofu, the overalls that werne’t worn in some attempt to be ironic or fashionable, the ability to act without fear of repercussions any greater than “I might get in trouble”.

No, I don’t relish it. But I will accept it. And I will rock it.

I loved this post Kyla. You are so right, it is our choices and they are all entirely up to us. Very well said!

I too am always told how much older people think I am (I’m only 23) and love the responsibility and being independent and making choices. This freedom and indepencence is something I’ve wanted since I was old enough to know what it is.

But with this freedom and choice, I love the ability to still make irresponsible choices if I want to. The choice that’s more fun, instead of the “right” choice. And i’m not really looking forward to growing out of that.
