Do I feel any older? Not really. Am I acting more mature? I doubt it. Do I look any older? Who knows.
But I do feel thankful i'm still alive. Many people don't live to be 17 years old in this world. So yes, one more year does make a difference. Whether or not I feel like i'm any older, or I act more mature today because technically i'm one more year older, or I look my age now more so than before, I am still here on earth with my family and friends and for that I am thankful. I am blessed.
A lot has happened over the last 17 years and my life has only just begun.
In so many ways i'm still that same silly girl, but I do believe in the last 17 years i've grown to be a godly young woman, a person that can be trusted, and loyal, someone who you can call when you need a shoulder to cry on. All of these things people expect one to learn along the way, and that I have.
Today is another day, yes I am now 17, but it's just another day that i'm alive and growing. :)
