My little sister is doing quite well for herself. I am so proud of her. She's such a smart girl! She's graduated a year early, and now she's feeling the pressures to pick a path for her life. She came over on 4th of July and played Rock Band with us. I've never felt very close to Sarah, mostly because of the age difference. Now we are finally getting to that point in our lives that we are experiencing or have experienced similiar things. I remember being in her spot just six short years ago. I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life, I just wanted to get it started! It was so bazaar to ask her about her plans for her future. I could tell that she's on the fence about a lot of things, but as I was listening to her, she sounded just like me right after I graduated. I felt that I had to have all of the big answers to my life figured out. Little did I know that there is a plan for everyone's life, no matter what direction you think you're going to go in, it seems that you always take a detour, or take a left when you should have gone right. I'm so glad that things turned out the way they did. I can't imagine having another life....except for one where I win the lottery, and never have to worry about money again! I told her that she didn't have to have all the answers, and just take it day by day. She doesn't see it now, and I know I didn't when I was her age, but she'll miss these carefree days where her biggest worry is where to hang out after work. Oh how I miss those days! I told her that I still don't have all the answers and I'm just going with the flow. I really do feel like my life will turn out the way it was supposed to, no matter what decisions I make. I think it will be the same for her too. Her life will be 100% different 6 years from now. She'll have different friends, a different job, maybe a husband, maybe a child, the possibilities are endless, and I'm just so excited for her.
