Comportement fascinant

Its 18th Novemeber, just one day pass my birthday. First and foremost, a happy belated birthday to me. A year older, more expectations from myself and others, and more matured I guess.

My heartfelt thanks to those who sent in their birthday greetings. They’re much appreciated, and I love you guys who made my day, even though I was sick throughout, up till now. Grrr. Shucks.

M18, like what people refer to as matured eighteen, enables me to look at a different perspective of things as compared to before. This entire year, lots of things had happen, unto me and people around me. I wouldn’t say I’ve been through a lot, nor is it little. But enough for me to see the world. Experience things I never dare dream of. Learning to mix with different kinds of people, learnin more about society and what implication every single individual has on the entire society as a whole.

At tmes, I thought to myself this: “How nice it would be if time were to slow down, for us to enjoy every single moment of our life”

Now, thinking back, I realised how naive I used to be. Nothing in life has ever been smooth sailing, not because of the way we lead our lives, but rather, the beauty of nature, the wonder works of God. We all go through tough patches in our lives, not because we want to, but rather, to enable us to go through different things to mould us into a better person, prepared for the future challenges ahead in our lives.

To date, I’ve lost count of how many of such tough patches I’ve been through for this entire year that just passed. Since I was seventeen. Though there were times when I cried bitterly, and times when I jumped for joy, lauging heartily with friends and loved ones. I’m thankful to God for seeing me through all of that. Right now, being an 18 year old, I’m expecting more and more of myself, as I believe I can surpass all expectations of myself from me and others. Just wait and see.

Toodles.
