happy seventeen to myself :)

I’m going to be 17 in a few minutes . I’m big on birthdays . My new year begins every August on my birthday, rather than on January 1st so I am very reflective in the lead up to it .
This birthday feels big . It feels like the beginning of adulthood .
One thing I’ve realized growing up is that many of us – me included – are children in grown up bodies . We are more adult children, then adults .
Actually, there is nothing wrong with being child-like especially it comes to the innocence and wonder that children have for the world . Peace :)
