18 and Clueless


To be 18 and clueless goes hand and hand with growing up.

To be 18 and clueless is to sometimes be embarrassed when someone asks what your major is, and you don’t have a clear-cut answer.

To be 18 and clueless makes you fear what will happen if you become 19 and clueless.

To be 18 and clueless is finding out the friends that you thought you’d have forever may just turn out to be the kids you knew from high school.

To be 18 and clueless is knowing that you just closed a door behind you just to find out there’s so many still left to open.

To be 18 and clueless is to learn to love the person you’re becoming.

To be 18 and clueless is to have the ability to love whole heartedly and still have that almost child-like honesty.

To be 18 and clueless isn’t a bad thing, in a way it’s an amazing moment in your life you only get to feel once.

To be 18 and clueless is exactly where I am in my life right now and I’m loving it.
