17, that’s the age I have reached today. I’m young, I know that and my head is full of dreams and wishes, just as everyone’s at my age. These past years, that together form this thing called my life, I have learned and seen so much. Things have changed, just as I did. Your birthday is always a day to drive your awareness to the fact, that one year has passed again. Have you achieved new things you dreamed and wished to achieve in the future exactly one year ago? Life is about growing up and finding out the person you want to become. Nobody is born to be perfect. I ask myself: Why are humans so obsessed with controlling everything in their lives, especially their future? The only thing we really have is this very moment. It’s not even a second, it’s simply the present and it’s up to us what we do with it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m also a person that plans a lot and enjoys doing so, but you should always keep in mind that you live NOW. Why does it feel so hard to let the thought in your mind, that you are RIGHT NOW in the position to face your destiny and to create your future in the way you want it to be? Why should I wait to do what I want to do in life, if I’m capable to do it RIGHT NOW? We often don’t dare to take the first step to realize an idea, a dream. So if I learned something last year, you should go and work for your dreams. Take little steps and spend as much time as possible with people and things you love! Dreams often are so close to become reality. So if I may speak for my generation: Hurry up (world), we’re dreaming!
