Grown-Ups Never Understand

Today, at 9:30am, I turned 17 years old.

17. Seventeen. I have only one year left of being a minor--then, adulthood. I can barely wrap my head around 17, much less being a grown-up. I'm growing up, but I don't want to! I feel like I've barely experienced anything.

I need to get out there: I've gotta do crazy things. I need to live.

What is this blog exactly? An adventure, I'd like to think. This is the time of my life, and I want to rememeber every second.

Care to join me?

Hello, thank you for your sweet sweet comments on my blog - I was honoured!
I totally relate to your feelings, I am almost nineteen but I feel this way too sometimes. Don't worry though, you have time!

Happy Birthday for two days ago!

Thank you so much for your comment on my blog. Having only just started it I wasn't expecting anyone to actually read my blog, so it was a nice surprise getting your comment.

I've added a close up of the skirt print if you were interested.

Thanks again!

p.s. I love your hat!

I love your blog title! Was it inspired by the nifty plastic twin lens camera? : )
