This song is for people in their 30s-40s who reminisce at this time or their life when they were 17 and the freedom they felt. Doesnât mean it was the best time of their life, just that they were carefree and the innocence that goes we it, knowing now they canât never go back to this feeling.

I can't get over the powerful melancholy in this song. It's like a yearning for your youth, while appreciating how much more yourself you are with age. It's telling your younger self things will get better, while realising that they kind of didn't. It's reflecting on how much has changed with the passing of time, but the slap in the face that nothing has really changed at all...
I think we get so caught up in nostalgia and regret and concern for the future that we forget that our memories aren't really truthful, and everything we experience is relative and fixed in the time it is in. This song reminds me to focus less on where you've been and where you're going, and more on where you are now :( :)

EVERYTIME I hear this song my eyes swell with tears because being an adult and growing up is hard, a lot of souls donât make it past their twenties so this song is a light for them and a glimpse into the horrors Iâve endured. Whoever reads this I hope you give yourself the same grace and love you give others to yourself for I have the unfortunate repercussion of ignoring that.

Gosh this song hurts so much.
17 was tough.
I was so damn lonely & misunderstood, yet didnât have the emotional language to explain it, even to myself. I was in a big new city and too afraid to begin to navigate it. With parents who were so different, with different struggles and different backgrounds, different values and interests, that they had no idea how to help me in any way at all. School kids so different also, they had their own bubbles already, in a small private school. There was no room for someone like me.
I spent a lot of days leaving school early (dropped out of a couple of classes so I could) and waiting at the train station every day with a ridiculous amount of candy, shyly watching the range of people you see in a quiet but transitional spot in a huge city. And at the other end of the station I would hang around a playground by myself for hours. Time moved so slow, yet too fast. The way it does now but with less understanding of it. I couldnât wait to get out, yet had no visible future to run towards, just a million things I wanted to run from. I donât know whether 17y/o me would like or hate current me. But thatâs okay because either way, all these years later, present me is finally doing okay.

I remember listening to this song a few hours before turning 18, I was chilling in my bedroom, thinking damn I wanna be forever 17, cause being 18 and comes with its responsibilities and you actually have to work hard to achieve your goal because they're not handed to you on a silver platter. I'm 21 now and I am grateful for everything! I am where I am supposed to be and I am learning everyday

Turning 20 in a few weeks, it saddens me that I lost my teenage years to mental illnesses, they are gone and I am never gonna be able to live, laugh and love like a teenager should have Hey y'all. Turned 21 some months ago. Time flies. To people that shared messages of hope, thanks. I really appreciate it.. To people that reminded me that "I should be grateful for what I have", yeah I know that and it only makes me feel more guilty. Anyway, I really fucked up. I still feel miserable, my choice of college education is a mess, I can't seem to know how to make healthy social relationships, and daily I think about ending my life (but I am sure I will not because I can't cause more pain than I have already caused). The days go on, and the feeling of doing everything wrong is constant. I wonder when it's going to blow up in my face. But as horrible as I feel, I have no one to talk to, so I cowardly resort to the comments section of a video where I have no face and can freely say what I feel without being consumed by guilt and shame.
