VOTE

"I WANT YOU"

-Uncle Sam.

So, today I registered to vote. Being of age scares me. That means a lot. Adult decisions, adult prices, adult consequences. I thought to myself am I really ready for this? I suppose I can't back down now. I have been telling people for years now I am an adult. Maybe the words didn't make much since to me, because now I regret saying them. It's almost like young love when the children tell each other they love one another. I felt that immature whenever I thought about my recent statements. Now I understand why my mom reacted the way she did whenever I stated "I am an adult". I never realized how much came with those words. Maybe what I am getting at is people need to think before they speak. Those simple words are actually more powerful than I, myself, thought they were. I really wish I could go back and stop living life thinking I was so grown-up. Whenever all I have ever been is a child. Today I thank the government for putting me back in reality. That even when I thought I was so HIGH and MIGHTY. I, Halle, never really was.
