I wonder what 17 year old me would think. Would she be happy with me? She got everything she wanted from life. I’m not happy with me. I think a younger me would admire the person I have become but she wouldn’t know how it feels just how it looks. I pour out my cup and complain it’s empty. Nothing went how 17 year old me intended, but does it matter if I ended up at the same destination? I guess not. I should be satisfied with this life that I molded and shaped with my own hands. Then why am I not?

Aspirations of Me at 17
I wonder what 17 year old me would think. Would she be happy with me? She got everything she wanted from life. I’m not happy with me. I think a younger me would admire the person I have become but she wouldn’t know how it feels just how it looks. I pour out my cup and complain it’s empty. Nothing went how 17 year old me intended, but does it matter if I ended up at the same destination? I guess not. I should be satisfied with this life that I molded and shaped with my own hands. Then why am I not?
