rain rain go away; that's what all my haters say.

Why would haters want it to stop raining?!


I'm not scared of much. Let me rephrase that; my fears are somewhat literal. I find myself fearing little things such as spiders, tornados, railroad tracks, and obesity. However, recently, my biggest fear seems to keep reoccuring; especially this year! More than bugs, storms, and chubbiness, I'm scared of the future. Moreover, I'm terrified of the unknown.According to most adults, it's perfectly normal to have doubts about the future. However, it seems that recently all my peers are starting to put their lives in perspective; or at least they're getting some sort of "life plan". Up until today, I thought I had one as well. While I was working on college applications, I found myself thinking about where I would be in 10 years.
In 10 years I'll be 27, preparing to turn 28. I'll be approaching 30 and gettting closer to middle age. That concept scares the hell out of me!
Honestly, I don't know what I want to be, who I want to marry, if I want kids or not, or even where I want to settle down; and it doesn't seem like 10 years is a long enough time to figure all of that out!So right now, I, along with millons of other high school seniors, am being asked to set up the foundation for my future. My senior year is forcing me to come face to face with my biggest fear. Honestly, I don't want to get old, and I certainly don't want to be living in my parents house for the remainder of my existance!
So, in light of my stress, I did the typical "Rebecca thing", and looked up a quote to make myself feel better. Lucky for me, Abraham Lincoln provided an excellent antidote for my woes!

"The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time." -Abraham Lincoln
So like Abe suggested, I'm going to start living one day at a time!


Also, I saw this envelope on PostSecret a few weeks back. It really struck me and made me think about the kind of person I am.

Honestly, I think I would have looked inside of the envelope; what does that say about the kind of person I've become?! Would you have looked?
