"Your twenties are your 'selfish' years. It is a decade to immerse your self in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground." - Kyoko Escamilia.
With the most special month making its presence felt, I'm all glee. My sister started uploading daily posts on Instagram, dedicated to each day of this month. Every post featured the most important people of my life and my special bonding with them. It is sweet how you get showered with an extra serving of love simply because it's June. The other day I got back from office at around 11 in the night and my friend consoled me saying, 'I feel like killing your manager. How can he make you stay in the office. It's June. Duh!' A fair enough reason to give me a big big smile. Who wouldn't feel great with all that paparazzi? I'm lucky.
Though this is an every year affair, what makes it all the more special this time is, I turn 25. Woah woah! What a huge number. There is something quirky about this age. I realize as I creep closer to the day. If I look back, none of the current thoughts were on my mind last birthday. As I approach the dreaded mid twenties, so many forces around me have made me feel that it's the high time I've remained happily unmarried. Just when I give in to that thought, the free spirited Gemini in me would revolt. Revolt like a warrior. And I end up being the poor soul swinging between the two.
Talking of this swinging poor soul who's also aging and getting old, let me not mention those moments when heavyhearted pricking of the new grey strands of hair happens. Old age, alas!
Okay, enough sadness! I'd say there's a brighter side too. From being sure about the shape of pasta to the right amount of sugar in my cappuccino. From being even more specific about the fragrances I won't ever wear to the kind of bullshit I won't let myself to get affected by. I could go on with a list of such from-to combinations but isn't it enough knowledge to have gained in the span of 25 years?! Sanity, I remind myself. So, I'd say with age, I've become surer of my choices, my people, my
decisions. I'm now a firm believer that this is what life is all about -- figuring it out. Adapting. Changing. Discovering. Dreaming. Trying. Failing. Trying again.
So this year, besides dealing with my quarter life crises that includes the serious stuff like finances, relationships and career, I'd make sure to focus and spend my energies in discovering the places in the world where I'll be honoured and loved for who I am. I'll find them. Create them.
Love and light!
