Seventeen was how old I was when I graduated high school. And how old I was when I moved out of my mom's house and to a lonely little dorm in Alamosa, CO. When I was seventeen I had my heart massively broken.

Seventeen is a low number for a checking account balance. Low, but still positive, which is good.
Seventeen dollars can be represented by three bills.
Seventeen years from now I will be forty, which is another decade entirely. By then, I imagine I won't be in school any more and I may even have kids. When I'm forty, my kids will not be seventeen.

Seventeen pages to the end of a book is a good feeling. It's the feeling of being almost there.
Seventeen days until I am home.
