The Values of Seventeen

By Wynnie Valentine

Approaching my seventeenth birthday, I took time to reflect on the kind of person I wanted to become. I decided to write myself a list of core values - guiding principles that I aspired to live by in my daily life. Over time, these values have become more than just words on a page; they have grown in significance, and have shaped how I navigate the world. With every challenge I face, these values serve as a steady guide, reminding me of who I am, and who I strive to be.

Each section of poetry unveils a human value that resonates deeply within me, offering a glimpse into the intricate layers of my thoughts and emotions. I reflect on why these values matter so profoundly, exploring the roots of their significance in my life. Through a variety of poetry, I give voice to my most heartfelt experiences - capturing moments of vulnerability, strength, and growth. Every word carries a piece of my soul, inviting readers to share in the journey of discovering what truly shapes and defines me.
