Seventeen was not so great.
Seventeen was the time of my life.
Sevnteen was the year of cutting.
Seventeen was the year I changed.
Seventeen was the year I was suppose to hate.
Seventeen was teh year I started to love.
Seventeen was the year I hated myself.
Seventeen was the year I began to love myself.
Seventten was a very special year.
Seventeen was the end of a whole new beginning.
