being seventeen

To be honest, when I come to think of it,
17 is really great age to be.
Sure, it may be a rather awkward age because you don't become more 'legal', 
But you're really not that young and innocent anyway.
Being 16, however, is way too much of a fairy tale.
You have too high of an expectation with all the 'sweet sixteen' bull-crap society has fed you with,
Whilst being 18, is actually rather intimidating.
Because when you're 18 you automatically become more 'grown up' with the liberation of being able to do anything M18.
So being 17 is great.
It's feels like being caged between immaturity and maturity.
And I like that uncertainty.
I like being 17.

I hope I don't ever forget how being seventeen feels like.
Not because it was great,
But because I was once there.
