I just remembered what it was like when I was 17 years old. I mean at the time I thought I was rather grown up, and truth be told, I still consider myself having found myself by then. However, alot has happened in the last five years, and you certainly feel it when you are hearing about your little sister's life. It feels like yesterday, but also like ages ago.

 

Relationships at 17 was such a precious thing. Roundabouts that time, relationships were taken to another level, and most people started having sex. It was serious, one probably uttered the words "I love you" and meant it for the first time, although it may not be the same as when I next utter those words. But it was all about discovering love, and experiencing things for the first time. Although one was aware of what one wanted, it was still so innocent! Because most people had just got involved in that first relationship, without having their heart broken just yet.

 

I sometimes wish I was 17 again (although I must say I think I look way better now). I envy my sister, but I love the fact that I get to experience it all through her. But the poor baby, is trying of course to keep her private life to herself, so that I will not ruin it all for her, or worse comment on her private life.

 

Totally understandable of of course, especially since I jumped up and down and just had to tell all my closest friends when I found out she had a boyfriend. Not that having a boyfriend is that spectacular, but when you are seventeen it is the sweetest thing ever.
