The Water Club;

When you get caught between the moon and New York City; I know it's crazy, but it's true. The best thing you can do is fall in love.

I don't think I've ever been to such an amazing place before. I remember stepping into the restaurant and the atmosphere changed. I felt like I was in a different time and place; it's hard to explain but I felt like I was in a movie and I was the leading actress.

The Maitre d' offered to take my coat and showed us to our seat in the main dinning room. I was blown away at once with the amazing view of the East River. It wasn't that late and the sun was still up, just starting to set. The sky was still a crystal blue and I sat at my table just watching the sky turn black against the lights of the city behind.

There was a man behind a piano near the front entrance playing an old song and he sang along as well. And I watched as an old couple sway softly to the music on the dance floor and it made me feel old. It's okay and I didn't mind that.

I liked that feeling. I liked the feeling that the restaurant gave me; it gave off an old vintage romantic feeling and I liked that.

And at that moment I truly felt like an adult and yeah, I know I'm young and all but I think it's time that I grew up. I shouldn't depend so heavily on other people because I have my whole life ahead of me and the only person that's going to make everything right is me.

I hated to think that I was getting older and with that there was bound to be loads of responsibilities placed on my shoulders. But right now, I'm not scared. To be honest I'm looking forward to it and I know that I'll make the best of it.

I thought about all those things that night at The Water Club and I guess it sort of change how I view certain things in my life.

I have a good life and even though things aren't going the way I want them to be, I'm still happy. And I know that if I try, I can make things better. A whole lot better; because that's part of growing up right?
