Seventeen

Seventeen. Oh the joys that come with being Seventeen. The awkward transition from teenage life to adulthood is held at the wonderful age of Seventeen. Everything you've ever dreamed of should be happening, right? You know, like when you were young and life seemed so unbreakable and fearless. You told yourself that in ten years you would be conquering the world and making all your dreams come true. But as you read this you begin to examine all the failed goals, broken relationships and sad endings that have filled your life since the day you stopped playing make believe. And you begin to wonder why you ever wanted to grow up in the first place. Because as it turns out reality is so much more harsh than playing pretend. And dreams aren't what they used to be anymore, they're just vague memories we recall when we awake from a long nap. But don't give up just yet. Remember that this is only the beginning. And like lots of beginnings, there is always a different ending. A ending that makes us complete. A ending that gives meaning to our life. And as much as you might like to deny it, you mean a whole freaking lot. You might not see it now but there is purpose to your and everybody's life.  A purpose to give hope to every seventeen year old out there. So whatever you do, don't let go. because we are about to embark on the craziest most adventurous journey of all; Life.
