getting older = maturing? LOL nah boss. maybe in different ways, but i still act like a youngin. i'd say something wise about how every year i learn something that will bring me farther in my journey of life but really, im just 17.. im not the wisest one out there. but i will say this: i don't feel any older nor different. i don't feel like i have an age.. observe:

uncle ernie: so how do you feel to be 17 ?
cara: i don't feel 17 at all.. i don't even feel like i have an age.
uncle ernie: why not?
cara: i just feel like i base my age on the year.. i feel like.. the "2009 cara", not the "17 year old cara"
uncle ernie: well how old do you think you feel you are? .. fourt-
cara: fourteen. yeah uncle, just what you're thinking, thanks.
