Birthday...
6 days ago, I turned 21... and alot of things will be different from now. Well, not really because I had everything, all the freedom and decisions so turning 21 is just something legal by the world's standards. Anyways, this year I had one wish... no presents lol... but I ended up getting ALOT... so thanks everyone for coming to my party and the gifts... The reason why I wished for no presents this year is because I had everything I need and want already and there was no need to ask for more. Also all my friends are still in school and the year just started it's not very nice to burden them for a gift why not let them buy something they like for themselves instead, friendship is not measured by what you give someone, it's the thought that matters. I also felt like turning 21 was a very sentimental thing to me and this means I have to grow up so why not instead of gifts for myself, why don't people wish for giving all this good stuff to people who aren't as fortunate as you are. Maybe next year I would do that. This year got me thinking about birthdays and what does it mean. Maybe this is a sign of old age because I'm obviously thinking to far =) but... to me birthday is a celebration, how long you lived in this world. 21 years, that's pretty long considering it's been two decades already. Poor old parents had been raising you from that puny little infant till you're finally an adult. Sometimes, all we really need to do is just sit back and think about how far have we came into this world, all the experiences and memories. That's what makes us an individual. So this number, 21... it just means I'm an adult and I need to think wisely and start my own life. I guess you can say I'm quite proud of myself because I've learnt to not be dependent on my parents too much. I try to solve most of the things myself and if I have no clue how to, I would just seek advice from my mum. I've learn to live on my own with very little budget and I never ask them for anything. So sometimes, I do end up being broke but it's not because I'm overspending or I don't know how to save, it's just that I'm taking care of my own life with very minimal help from parents. It's save to say that everything I own is from my own money even the clothes on my body to my daily needs. Because of this, I just felt like my parents did a good job in raising me up. Maybe to some people, they would feel like their parents don't love them for not buying them anything but for me, this is a good thing and I would definitely teach my kids this next time otherwise I would DIE... lol...In the end of the day, a birthday is just a day you were born into this world. Be happy to live another year and share it with the one's you love. This would be one of the fondest memory you could take with you forever.
