It's weird how sometimes a very normal and obvious thing will strike you as absolutely odd or amazing.
I was just eating a yummy chocolate chip cookie and drinking a small glass of milk, and looked out the kitchen window at the cold, dark, snowy world beyond. Then my gaze went to my reflection and I was shocked. I looked older. Like a young woman, not a child. And I remembered looking at my reflection years ago when I was much less mature-looking and it struck me as odd. It made me wonder if five years from now when I'm in another place, and 24 years old, if perhaps the same feeling of oddness will come again.
It's an odd thing, growing up.
