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."

  1. Hey Shaylee! I'm totally there with you on the sweet sixteen party jig. My birthday is two days before yours! March 10, and I'll be turning sixteen as well. And I doubt I'll be doing anything big.

    Also, your blog is adorable. I am totally up for giving you a shoutout on my blog or letting you guest post over there. If you want to write more posts first or anything, I'd love to give you a shoutout!

    1. That's awesome that our birthday's are that close together! I've just changed so much over the years, so I'm more of an "intimate setting" person now. Lol

      Thank you for the compliment. I would love to do a guest post, and we could give each other shoutouts! I will probably need to write a couple more posts though. (:
