Exactly on Saturday, March 26, 2022. It was the beginning where the number 17 in age increased to 18. Yesterday, was the last day when an adorable girl and amazing person turned Seventeen. The age of Seventeen became an important age in his life. At the age of Seventeen, physically he could not be called an adult, but she was also not a teenager let alone a child. The same is true of her mindset. There's a lot that makes her want to stay at Seventeen, but there's also a lot of burden. One of them, don't expect too much. The higher her expectations, the greater the risk of her being disappointed. She must understand that life is not as she always wanted it to be. There will be many surprises that appear, unfortunately not all of them can make her happy.

However, like it or not, he must welcome the age of 18. Welcome. The age of 18s is a benchmark for maturity. Psychologically, someone who turns 18 years old is considered capable enough in terms of planning, making decisions, and the consequences of actions. Therefore she must understand how to act well and what decisions he has to make in her 18s. Why? Because her 18s will shape her forever. Happy birthday, happy 18th to myself. The hope from myself is that she can be more mature in making decisions, be successful, and be able to reach his goals. Congrats! May the day always be blessed by the almighty God.
