seventeen.

It was my 17th birthday on the 2nd. i never really like my birthdays. i don't like getting older. (my friend sent me a text saying "don't worry you still have one more year to get into neverland"). this is sad. also it's always in the summer holidays meaning nobody is around.

this year was kinda cool though. my mother knows how i don't like spending money on silly things. so all my presents were ether free or almost free. it's also funny because there were so many this year. normally i don't get any. people forget about me ha. which is fine i have got used to it. so used to it that when people are around on my birthday that i don't really want to see them. strange.
