For anyone wondering, yes I'm still alive! Just.. Freaking out. I know I've kept my age private for the most part, but in a while it'll all be okay, so might as well. I'm 17, and since my birthday is June 28, in just about 3 months... I'll finally be 18. Yay? Taxes... Bills... Bank account... A phone of my own... Maybe someday a car of my own, and if not, then I'll have to suffer through my shyness of paying to go on a bus... I wanted to grow up to be able to do what I want, but now I realize how scary it all is. Childhood was the free trial at life, and I was too busy being a spoiled child at it. AH! I'm internally panicking and screaming.
