Twenty Nine

Its been 29 years since 1981. But I have been told I still look like I'm about 23.

Being 29 has big difference. It might not be physically noticable, but we do a lot of growing in all those years. Well, most of us do, anyway.

The past 9 years time has been nothing but continuous change for me. I went from zero responsibility to a great extent. Uni ended, start working, paying bills and things just kept on growing. One after another.

I have come to realise that this is period when other people really start expecting things from us. People may have a pre-set impression of the type of person you are, and what you are suppose to be, and which direction should you head. And they often choose to believe their perspective is the most ideal.

I am not going to argue with that. It’s normal. We all have opinions. I believe that one should just find a diplomatic way to address your position.

A friend asked if I feel old being 29. Well, obviously I do I feel a lot older now than I did at 20, but I sure as heck know a lot more. The things I went through made me what I am today. Of course alot of the things I did along the way wouldn't even cross my mind as acceptable actions today.

Nevertheless, no matter what age we reach, we never stop learning and making mistakes. We just learn from it, and move on!

~Cheers!
