On turning 25

When I was a kid, never thought I would ever be in my mid 20s. After all how could I ever be so sophisticated and own so many nifty things? Owning a car, living in an apartment, earning a salary, hanging out until god knows what time…are all part of being 20-something.

Without realizing it, the years have crept up and I turn 25 tomorrow. As much fun as it was, it is no longer healthy to regard myself as a teenager. Shucks! Tomorrow reality kicks in and all of a sudden – yours truly will be middle aged! Well, almost.

Apart from struggling with the whole issue of mortality, things are going very well. There is so much to be thankful for and I know it *grin*

Somehow can’t help but feel that events of the past 6 months were choreographed, ultimately leading to this very day. In hindsight, it was necessary to have had all my beliefs broken down in order to rebuild.

People say that I was born lucky and I agree. In the months that my world was not making sense, there were lots of friends and family members around to take me out while tactfully ignoring my red-rimmed, swelled up eyes. Now that things are better, I have re-learned the art of caring for others. You might think this is funny but when one does not have many friends – he/she gets self-centered. Am trying really hard to work my way out of this one, be patient kiddo.

There is no doubt in my mind that I am a reincarnate (if there is such a word) of someone great. Things just always work out in the end for me. Was battling with the idea of saying all this coz people might think I was plain egotistical. It’s just that if I’m allowed to express all my anger and sadness, why not feelings of happiness and content as well? Right? Sometimes it’s stupid how society makes us feel like we should suppress our happiness and success by not talking about it. Sheesh…if you’re happy, just be happy already! Coz when we’re sad, we sure as hell let it show on our faces!

Well anywho, tomorrow I am off on the biggest adventure ever!

Please don’t give me the – I could so kill you right now- look J

It’s karma.
