Seventeen years have passed , a year or
a year ? It no longer matters , the
fatigue is the same . A year is narrated
with effort and trial , and a year is
remembered in the purity of prosperity .
It does not matter what happened in the
seventeen years of life , what matters is
that twenty comes like perfume ,
not like dust . I hope that it will be a
year of goodness and reassurance ,
not a year of fatigue , but the beginning
of security .
