Two Weeks Into 24
Ultra delayed post and it ended up on the same day as Mid- Autumn Festival, or Chuseok in Korea.
Was reading my past birthday posts (here and here) in 2011, i reckoned they are pretty much similar to what I am writing now. This is going to be a solemn post because I honestly hate ageing. Not so much of the progress of ageing (ask me again when I am 50), but just how little time I have left. Seriously, human life is too short.
There's no big milestones this year. For starters I managed to survive 3/4 of the year at work (with much cursing I have to admit, some people just simply don't have the EQ to know when to leave you alone). First half of the year was challenging - lack of holidays and all.
Do I wish I am back at school? A little. Reminiscing the days back in Uni with my mates, laughing about all the nonsense we have done. Can we just strip out the exams please?
Friendship still going strong, despite us on our separate paths (maybe except Marilyn and Corinna). It's really amazing how we can rely on our close ones when we needed them. Without complaints, without judgement. This I appreciate.
The slave, oh the slave, is still my slave. This I am thankful for as well. Trying to make our way to the next stage of life now. It's not easy, not with the damn regulations (and repercussions that the government have set up. I think it is really unfair why we are suffering from the consequences that we didn't even vote for (read: Mah Bow Tan and his nonsense). Not just the legal part though, but also the emotional part. I hate growing up, I hate thinking about the future that far, I just want things to stay the way it is. I guess that's my hurdle to cross.
I don't know what this year will bring (as in this 24-years-old year), but I reckon there will be huge changes. I probably wouldn't like every change, but I sure will do my best to embrace them.
Today, this month, this year I am thankful for
a) My family who are all well and together
b) My boyfriend who surprisingly hasn't left me for Marshmallow, Fluffy or Mochi (LOL)!
c) My friends who stood by me when I gave them problems over and over again
d) My colleagues at work who make my day go quickly everyday
e) Myself for being so awesome :P
For those who are suffering quarter-life crisis like me, I hope you too had/will have an awesome birthday!
