17.

Remember this ? well, I am watching this very movie.right.now. It always makes me cry. Its basically the only movie that can make me cry every single time I watch it {so steel magnolias sort of does it too, but only because when Sally Field is saying "open your eyes, Shelby, open your eyes" it reminds me of Chloe in the NICU. Anyway.... } Luckily, I only watch it *once* a year.

There are a lot of things I remember from when I was 17. Very clearly. I thought I knew everything (clearly, I didn't). Mostly what I learned was that I can do things that I didn't think were possible. Impossibly hard things.
