It sucks to be a palindrome

Oct 07, 2009 00:57

 I thought being twenty-one is awesome. The next number, a palindrome even, I am not so sure anymore. Maybe because of all the excess responsibilities that is expected for people aged twenty-two.

To tell you the truth, not much is to be expected of a broke entry-level employee in a government institution. A lot of things were expected of me when I was twenty-one. 2008-2009 held some of the greatest months, minutes, seconds of my life. 2009-2010 may prove to be a challenge. A challenge of never-ending change, of oft-sought realizations, of futile-bound dreams, may be some of the highlights that further needs to be sliced.

I am twenty-two now. I can still be considered young, but not that young. But it does not matter at all, right? All that matters now is how I make this year, a year to remember. With high hopes and wide grin, this journey to the uncertain future continues.

Three days late, but still apt: Happy Birthday to me. Though it may suck to be a palindrome, I have things that can easily go my way.

birthday
