“We ARE rich,” said Anne staunchly. “Why, we have sixteen years to our credit, and we’re happy as queens, and we’ve all got imaginations, more or less. Look at that sea, girls—all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen.”
Let me tell you something. This quote is everything. Never have I felt something that so perfectly mirrors what I feel about looking back on high school.
High school has been hard but it’s like any time period of your life. You take it: for the good and the bad.
If I had any regrets in my high school experience, it would probably be the very thing that this quote seems to express.
I wish I had spent less Monday’s wishing it were Friday. I wish it didn’t take me this long to figure out that I’m happy as a queen.
But better now then never. But I guess that’s just how life works. Especially when you have eighteen years to your credit. You finally realize how rich you are. And knowing this makes facing the uncertain future all the easier.
