Zero. Small baby, big brown eyes
One. Not quite as small, devouring food and the wonderful sights of the world
Two. Wobbling around, climbing as high as I can
Three. Playing on the playground, running blissfully as fast as I possibly can
Four. Little ballerina, twirling nervously in my golden tutu
Five. Walking into school with my backpack and bob haircut
Six. Realizing that I'm different from the other kids, everything just clicks for me as they stumble with reading and addition
Seven. Switching schools, not talking to anyone
Eight. Learning a lot, filled with guilt at the smallest breach of rules.
Nine. Missing my best friend, wishing I was somewhere else
Ten. Laughing, learning, loving with friends and the best teacher in the world
Eleven. Middle school, wearing the same graphic tees and skinny jeans as every other person
Twelve. Stuck in limbo
Thirteen. Growing ready for a fresh start
Fourteen. Fresh start doesn't live up to my expectations, but I'm surviving
Fifteen. Falling into depression, growing fed up with the lies and hate of the world, learning what to care about and what not to
Sixteen. Not setting expectations for this one.
