At Some Point

At some point; I grew too tired to go out and meet the famous people I used to love, and instead stayed home to cook a three course meal.

At some point; I stopped laying in bed dreaming about how I could become a back up dancer on some singers tour, and instead started dreaming about a new dresser.

At some point; I ceased trying to make everyone like me, and began to like myself.

At some point; I was no longer taking random vacations for fun with friends, and was instead saving for months for an overnight trip to San Antonio.

At some point; I did not have to talk to my parents before every decision I ever made, and took the responsibility upon myself.

At some point; I didn't know where all the drink specials were every night in the week, and became more concerned about the calorie content.

At some point; I stopped looking for a new car, and started enjoying having my older one paid off and running.

At some point; I quit walking so fast, and actually noticed the beauty of the leaves turning.

At some point; I gave up what might of been with old boyfriends, and began to realize what I deserved in a new one.

At some point; I got away from reading all the gossip sites, and started really paying attention to the news.

At some point; I learned instead of telling people what I though, sometimes keeping my mouth shut and complaining later was the best form of action.

At some point; I halted buying everything I wanted at the grocery store, and started buying only the things I needed.

At some point; I realized everyone in my family wasn't going to be around forever, and I started knowing the pain of loss.

At some point; I noticed if I didn't make it to my parents every holiday, life would go on.

At some point; I acknowledged that I had to let go of my childhood dreams.

At some point; I learned you really can't go home again.

At some point, I grew up.
