When I Saw Her Standing There

It's no surprise, really, that I love The Beatles. One particular song that really resonates is 'When I Saw Her Standing There', as the song seemingly points to me directly:

"She was just seventeen/ If you know what I mean."

See, that's me! I'm seventeen. For the moment. 

You see, my birthday is coming up, and I'm rather blue about it to be honest, because 17 has been such a magical age for me. I've loved every minute of it - but I suppose that's just what I said leading up to my 17th birthday, and my 16th, 15th and so on. 

I've just never been one for getting older.

But then the morning of my birthday arrives and I realise like a slap to the face how great the next year is going to be.

18 is a bit of a milestone, but I'm still technically a "teen" so I guess I'll just have to be happy about that. 

For now, though, I thought I'd show you some of my favourite 'little me' photos :) I was a cutie if I do say so myself ;)
