When I was six years old I told my mum that all I wanted was to be 10 years old. Not a very important wish right? Well to me it definitely was.
I already knew I was going to grow up to be a fairy and the boy who I sat next to would tell me had a crush on me as big I the crush I had on him. I was only six, please remember, but it was a pretty solid plan.
When I decided that 10 was the age to be, it seemed so far away! Four years was a long to time to wait to be so much older and more mature.
Four long years later, I was 10. I had done it. I was finally there.
But you know what? I didn't feel any different. No more amazing or mature or special.
I just felt like me.
I later realized that just being me was special, it was amazing.
It just shows that you don't work towards, or turn a certain age or have a boyfriend or have the clothes in style to be amazing.
You just decide to be.
I'm not saying you should be cocky or develop a swollen head, I'm just saying that a little self belief and inner happiness goes a long way.
Even if you're only six.
