Time.

How is it that time travels so fast? I'm really a sophomore in high school? Am I really already sixteen? What? I will really be a legal adult in two years? Is there really only two more summers left until I'm on my own?

It feels like just yesterday I was dancing with my baby doll in my living room. It feels like I was just flying kites at the beach with grandma and grandpa. Seems like just yesterday I was counting down the days until I could get my permit. Just yesterday I was a Beehive looking up to all the Laurels in my ward.

And now, all of that is come and gone. I have graduated from brushing my dolls' hair and moved up to brushes being "microphones." Flying kites has turned into occasional Sunday Phone calls. I am now the Laurel that all the Beehives look to.

Where did time go?

"Don't blink 

just like that

your six years old

and you take a nap, and you 

wake up and you're twenty five 

then your high school sweetheart becomes your wife

Don't blink 

Just might miss your babies grow

and like mine did

turning into moms and dads,

next thing you know

your better half of fifty years is there in bed

and you're praying God takes you instead 

trust me friend 

A hundred years goes faster than you think. 

So don't blink."
