Dear Upa,
It just hit me.
I am not prepared to be 17.
Just 15 days of being 16 left. I feel like being 17 brings with it an obligation to have an interesting life. Being 17 seems like serious business. Like, I'm not going to be considered a child anymore. I can actually legally watch NC 17 movies if I want to. I'm not ready.
Just like that, 2015 is almost over. Literally the most eventful year of my life, and it just flew by, simultaneously making it feel like both the slowest and the fastest year ever. It feels like nothing changed, but in one year I'm so much closer to getting over my fear of new people, actually made friends in a completely new city, attended a new school with a VERY new uniform, started a YouTube channel and a blog, wrote my boards, didn't do terribly, and survived without the most important things in my life for a very long time. I'm quite content.
On a completely unrelated note, I started watching Star Wars. It was for the same reason I watched Game of Thrones, to be honest. I was kind of sick of all the references and memes that I didn't get.
And it's great. For the movies made in the late 70s and 80s, the special effects are very impressive and the story is so cool, and I am very surprised at how less I don't understand.
You know what? Forget what I had said. I'm not that afraid of being 17.
This year, I had a lot of character development. Right now, I am the kind of person who laughs at their own jokes, makes terrible puns, is the epitome of trash, makes decision based on internet memes and accidentally throws their hairbrush in the dustbin. I think my life is interesting enough.
I can't wait to see what being 17 brings.
Bye for now,
Aditi.
