Sweet Sixteen

Bloglovin'
Spring Break is almost here. It's only eight days away. Hopefully many things happen over this break from school. Although, one very important thing will be happening! My birthday is on March 12th, and I'll be sixteen. Ahhh, sweet sixteen. I use to plan for this day when I was younger, but it doesn't seem that important now. I don't want the huge room, the loud music, the large cake, or all of these people that I can't hang out with at once. All that I want is a box of macaroons, my closest friends, a can of tea, and a movie night at the passion pit (the Drive-In). Why is it that teens in America must be held to that standard? The standard of the big party, the new car, and tons of people in one room. The decision making is so overwhelming. I don't know if any of you are in the same situation at the moment, but don't feel under pressure of having a HUGE party. Do what you want. 
You could want a large party, and that's okay! What I'm trying to say is to not conform to this world. Don't let it make decisions for you. Just like it says in Romans 12:2, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
