Hitting 25

I just turned 25. Yesterday was my birthday. I 'celebrated' it with work and when everything was done, the day was almost over. So there was no cake, presents and candles this year but then again I haven't had those in a long time.

I'm officially now in my mid 20s, and it's funny to think that you are only in your mid 20s once, and any age before or after that was either early or late. Next year, I would be 26, and I would mathematically be categorized as in my late 20s. Hah.

Being at this age, I wonder if I have reached the maturity that my age indicates. I guess by some standards, being 25 means that you would have your own car, a decent job, have a girlfriend with plans of getting married and being in the prime of your physical health.

For me, being at this age means that I have reached the peak of my life and everything onwards is just going down. My physical capability (if I really had any to begin with) would start to decline, my opportunities of finding a better job or income diminishes and I'm not even sure if I'm ready to get into another relationship again. Oh yeah, I don't have a car too (just two wheels to move around).

'Youth is wasted on the young' was a saying that I once heard and I do agree with it. Upon hitting this age, I really think that sometimes people just don't realise that they won't be young forever (though it seems forever). The time will come when they have to start taking responsibilities at their age, even if they don't act like it. I probably wouldn't say that I had a lot of things that I regretted not doing when I was young but I do know some people who just think that they have all the time in the world before they start taking any real steps to 'grow up'.

But at this point, I think I think I just have nothing to lose anymore. If this was the happiest moment in my life, then I'm going all in to make it happier or worse. It's time to have regrets and live the way I wanted to (whether for good or ill).

So 25th Happy Birthday to me and myself!

Oh, I also just want to thank everyone again who send their birthday wishes at Facebook even though I didn't put my birth date on my profile (thanks to my asshole of a brother who had to wish me there instead of just saying it with his mouth).

Also the most important person on my birthday sent me this;


To which I earnestly replied.
