17

Cause when you're... 17...

So today I turn 17. I think I've reached that age where birthdays don't matter as much it did in the past. But I still enjoy getting presents (who doesn't?).

I tell myself that my birthday should still be a celebration of my time in this world. Because my life was brought here for a reason.

How did I spend it? Mum was the first to wish me H.B. Then Debbie, and then, friends. Of course I didn't expect everyone to remember. But a few did, and it kinda spread around. With many birthday wishes and two classes of mine singing "Happy Birthday" for me, I felt really good about myself. My life is good.

There's a tradition... 17 punches for turning 17. My arm's starting to bruise...

Mum made sushi. Mmm...

Sorry I haven't been updating much. Life's really stressful nowadays, with the final year of VCE. It's the year where I can finally prove myself, but for that to happen, much sacrifice has to be made, including free time. But I continue to keep a balanced lifestyle, telling myself not to burn out. There are still times for fun, like today. Work hard, play hard. Probably my motto for the year.

Been really into Disney songs nowadays. Where did that come from? What's your favourite one? Currently, mine's "Colours of the Wind" in Pocahontas.

:D

doesn't this just make you smile?
