Nearing another birthday, I'm getting a lil freaked out that time's flying and I'm growing old. I remember a friend mentioning once, that when you hit 20, u know a third of your life is over! Sad ...but a fact. So reaching 23, I'm looking back at the 22nd year of my life and realising that time has really flown at concorde speed! Nevertheless I'm thankful to God, for blessing me with yet another peaceful year.
I'm just reflecting over the previous year and thinking of where I was and where I am now, and what difference this year has made to my life. My 22nd year has been eventful...from achieving a profession to developing new relationships. It has been a year filled with changes. From life as a student to life as a professional. A massive change indeed! It's true when people say that working life is different. It just makes you appreciate all the chances you had to snooze in lectures at uni. In contrast, snoozing even a lil bit now comes with its own consequences and responsibilities. Sometimes I wish I could go back to it, even with the exams ( I know I'm probably only saying that for now, in real sense I mean Uni life minus exams!)...But life goes on and dwelling in what has already passed doesn't help. Instead it's best to add it to my experiences' list and move on.
It's funny how some rules are just made to stay. Like life goes on. Like Time flies. Wouldn't it be cool if life could be paused where you like and lovely times could go slowly (you can tell from this sad thought that I'm really freaked out to turn another year older lol). Time is flying so I thought that I'd reflect over my 22nd year and make a list of all the things that I want to remember from it, and also things that I don't want to remember from it. So that's what I'm going to do now before I'm off to bed. It might just make me feel that time didn't really fly as I count the moments. Or if nothing else, I'm sure it will be something that brings a smile to my face a couple of years down the line when I'm in one of those reminiscing moods.
Oh yea and Time flies...it sure does! Life goes on...it sure does! It's just about finding the joy in pocketing those experiences and savouring those moments! God willing, my 23rd year of life turns out to be a year of learning, personal development and peace.
Happy living people! :) After all, the meaning of life is what you want it to be.
