live now rather than always looking forward

I have not really applied myself to this yet, but I know I need to do it. I find myself thinking, “Well, three and a half years until collgege,” “I can’t wait until I can get our of this town,” “I can’t wait until I don’t have to listen to my parents anymore,” “I get my license next year,” etc. I know that’s not good, but my future seems so bright it’s just exciting. It also helps that I can’t stand my life right now. I have a wonderful boyfriend, but my family can’t get along for a single weekend, I’m extremely broke, my parents are too strict, and my stepdad is driving me insane. Ha. As I reread that, it reminds me of a friend who can’t stop complaining. I know I am blessed to be living in America and everything, but its the little things that drive me insane. So, I can’t wait until I get my driver’s license, graduate from highschool, go to college, have an exciting life, and leave home for good.
