Growing up is scary. I know we are still so young, but this is the first time I've been really aware of the changes that happen in such a small amount of time. Yesterday all my sisters friends were over for her birthday, they all have boyfriends, one is engaged, and the rest probably will be in the next year or two.
 It was only three years ago that they were where I am now, almost finished year 12, and hadn't even met the man they are now about to marry. It is really beautiful to see them all growing up and stuff, but it also freaks me out about my own future. What is to become of me?
I think these kids had me in mind when they wrote this :P It will probably be my future long before I will ever realise it:

My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel

I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow

By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to

No I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting' it back on the road now

But I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around

Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found

Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
