Happy birthday to me!
And all the <3s for the people who wished me happy birthday!
I felt really blessed to have people like you around.
Cant really believe I'm eighteen already.
yup that's the legal age already.
On my birthday i often look back and and think. how have i grown since the last year?
10 years ago, it would be how many centimeters higher, how many kg i have put up.
and now it would be how mature i have become. or how prepared i am for the future.
then it makes me wonder how would i know that i have matured? what are the signs of maturity that i can look for?
i realised more mistakes i have committed.
i figured what i should never have done.
i recalled something i never should have said.
all of that mean a good thing.
now i have the knowledge to understand things better than before. much better.
everything has its two sides, it cant be completely bad, or completely good.
you can extract the good points from a bad action, and you can also point out the flaws in a good action.
the good thing is, if you can really can extract the good points out of something, or find the flaws in it.
and to learn from it. learn from the good as well as the bad.
what should be the wish of my new age?
i should not be wishing for more of this, more of that.
because "more" is just too vague.
and even the most powerful genie could not fulfill a vague wish.
so i wish for enough.
enough happiness for my life
and enough sadness for me to fully appreciate the happiness
enough generosity to help people around me
and enough selfishness to treat myself nicely.
being dreamy enough to aim for a better goal.
and being realistic enough to know what i can do and what i cannot do.
enough chances to show others my capabilities.
and enough time for me fix my weaknesses.
and enough is just enough^^
