Seventeen

I turn 17 in April. I'm not really excited... if anything I'm scared, the closer to adulthood I get the more it scares me. I don't really have a plan or an idea for a career. I'm just kinda taking things by each moment, and while I'd like to live life like that, I dunno if I can. So it's scary, things are uncertain in a bad way. I'm afraid of expectations, people are gonna think of me differently when I'm an adult, I have to grow up. Adulting seems scary, I wish I could live adventuring the world, just walking. But the world runs on money and to get money you need a job and to maintain a job you need to be responsible, it's all just a lot. I wanna live my fantasy life but I don't wanna die. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong or overthinking, but it's bugging me. It's only two months til I'm 17. Wish me luck I guess o7

So I understand where you are coming from with being afraid to get old. It is actually quite scary but also a bit freeing at the same time. Yeah you get older and you get more responsibilities but you also get the abilities to live freely and do whatever you want in moderation ofc. For me personally 17 wasn't a good year but everyone experiences life differently. Don't worry about not having life figured out yet because I am 19 and i'm not even 100% sure what I want to do with my life either. Id just say just enjoy your last year or two of high school, make memories, try new hobbies, find new interest and maybe an idea of what you want to do after school will develop without you even realizing at first. Anyways I wish you the best and a happy early birthday to you!

Hey man, as someone who's experienced being 17, you've got this! Aging is extremely scary, and everyone gets that, but no matter what the future holds, you got this! Just take things slowly, and don't be hard on yourself. Living is hard, dude! Try to focus on those little things that you enjoy, one breath at a time. Be nice to yourself! Best wishes from a stranger just passing by :] ☆☆☆
