When I was in my early 20's I imagined that at this age I would be
settled down with 1.5 kids, a husband and a few pets but here I am a few days
after my birthday reflecting on the lessons learnt and how different plans can
become.
It feels like the
28 years might have happened overnight.
I can still remember most of my teens and waiting patiently for 16
to come along then the legal 18. Oh and the infamous 21 and all the thrills and
new adventures that my early 20’s brought with it.
It is there that I learned to live, there that I learned to laugh
at life and myself from time to time. There that I learnt about love, the kind
that hurts and the kind that heals. There
that I set off on adventures that have taken me to distant lands, hidden
villages and the little colorful “empire”
I now call home.
The years has come
with its ups and downs but it has been really amazing to grow into the person I
am now. I have always thought of myself as a quiet soul and an introvert in my
own right but with age and some wisdom now I feel like I own my space.
I realise that I am different , that I am unique (so not everyone
will get me) and it is okay as long as I am true to myself.
As for TURNING 28,
well it’s just the beginning of a new journey and I know my late 20’s will be filled with discoveries. It will be like searching for treasures on a winding road where i can't see the end just yet but i know its there.
