Turning 23 (soon)...Got woke up today by the delivery man. A friend sent me pretty pink tulips for my birthday, a pleasant surprise.
The flowers were lovely, but a pity they die fast. Took a couple of pictures of them before they start withering.
Though the flowers were very pretty, but I had to spent like an hour convincing my mom that the flowers were just from a friend for my birthday, and meant nothing else. Duh. I think as we grow older, our parents start to worry even more about such stuff.
Two more days before I officially turn 23, and I can't help but to feel skeptical about it. What have I done in these 23 years which are worth mentioning? What have I achieved in life so far? It just seems like I haven't done much or achieved anything. My life still seems pretty much bleak and uninteresting. As I see peers getting hitched, doing well in their careers, living life to its maximum, I can't help but feel small. My love life is non-existence, my career is basically non-existence for the moment too (I can only call it a job), and I have zero achievement under my belt. What a depressing thought!
Then I realised, how time flies. It seemed just like yesterday that I wished I was 21 soon, that I could have my freedom and voting rights, that I could do anything I want and everything I want. Yet now having passed 21, and proceeding to 23 soon, it kind of makes me feel freaked out that time is passing so fast, I haven't even had the opportunity to do anything yet. Maybe time might breeze through even more rapidly, and before I know it, I will be 25 (quarter-life crisis?), then 27 and then the horrible BIG 3. I wonder what would I have achieved by then or what will I be by then...
Oh well, I guess for now... come what may.
