I woke up this morning..and realized.. I am 24 years old today! argh!!!
Today is my birthday....argh!!
Another year has passed me by and I am closer to be living on this Earth for a quarter of a century. That makes me feel real old..and a bit unaccomplished. If you asked me 2-3 years ago..when I was leaving College, what I'd hope I would be doing or had done by the age 24... I could tell so many things.
1) At the age 24.. I had hoped I would be done or would still be in Grad School....as of right now I am still working on taking the GMAT to be able to get into Grad School.
2) At the age 24.. I had also hoped to be possible engaged.. or close to being married. At the age of 22 I was very in love..and thought it was a sure thing...unfortantely life is funny and things don't turn out the way you had hoped for. Now I am back to square one...single in the city.
3) At the age of 24...I had hoped to be living on my own in my own apt...possibly sharing it with a roommate. I am currently still living with my parents...sharing a room with a 15 year old teenager. :(
4) At the age of 24.. I had hoped I had a new car..... That I have accomplished.. I have my little Yaris.. I love my carrito! :)
I don't know what else to say....except life is full of surprise, twists and turns. And everything I have experience up until now....has made me a wiser and stronger person. I have experienced a fatal car accident, stress, sleepless nights, heartbreak, loss, betrayal, ulcers....the list goes on.
Even though I have not accomplished most of the goals I had set out to accomplish by this age.. I am satisfied with how things are thus far. I have met and encountered so many people in my life who have been there for me...and I am grateful for having them in my life. I am also a little sad..that the people who I considered the closest to me in the past 2-3 years.. decided to abondon me..for reasons I will never know.
Oh well... as Mama Gump said ..."Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you are going to get."
