At the edge of 17

We'll all be :)

It's a few hours' away before i officially turn 18.
I could remember vividly how i feel last year, this day.
I was feeling excited and elated, like even though there were no plan for celebration,
at the very least, I'd be able to enjoy my birthday together with my classmates, and beloved teachers.
Plus, my birthday always fall on Teachers Day, which means there'd be no class + an early dismissal!
Isn't that what students always look forward to? Yeah, i'm one of those who looked forward to such days.

However, for some reason, i feel different this year, now.
I don't feel excited anymore, maybe a little but more of feeling scared.
Like i'm not ready to move on, i still wanna stay as 17.
I'm not sure how to explain the way i feel now; insecure, anxious, uncertainty..

C'mon Vera, a brand new day tomorrow, the start of the journey, and a change for the future.
Be excited, and happy please!! :'(

"i don’t think it’s time that heals hearts, but distance from the person you were when you loved." It takes so much courage to fall in love. So much risk to trust someone you barely knew. One moment feeling so sure that he's the one who will always be there for you till the end of time. Then the next, feeling all crushed up because you realized that life is unfair and somehow, disappointments and anxiety keeps hitting in your face. I never thought distance could be a problem. The feeling of insecurity.
It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It’s just that… I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It’s the universe’s way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It’s how life is. — Sarah Dessen Reminiscing old times as a Studio Ghibli Freak
