did you turn out the way you expected?

i wrote a blog post recently talking to my twelve-year-old self.  to make a short story even shorter, i tell twelve-year-old ericka that she turned into her mother.  i never saw that one coming.  the following are also surprising:
  • i'm not bad to look at (if you knew at twelve you never would have guessed i'd get over the braces, the glasses and the hair-sprayed arc of bangs).
  • i'm on my way to veganism.  twelve-year-old ericka ate jerky like it was her job.
  • i'm still writing.  i've always had a problem with following through with...

so are you who you expected to be or someone else entirely?

No! Not even a little bit. 
 
I never even thought I'd ever get married... (was that sentence stated correctly?!) But I have turned into my Mother, too.... In some ways. 
 
I'm not as nice of Mommy as I thought I'd be... patients has run thin.
 
I live in Arizona... I always saw myself as a beach girl. Still see myself as one, just missing the water part.
 
Those are just a few things I have noticed. I'm sure there are many.
