The weirdness of turning 25

The weirdness of turning 25...

For once, your body is not the same anymore. Like, yes, duh...you can't adjust to the day as easily as you would when you are 15. At 15, I can sleep till 7pm and wake up and sleep again at 3am and still wake up at 7am only to sleep again at 10am.
Now? Time is so limited that you are desperate to have 35 hours a day if possible.

When I was 20, I eat and drink all that I want and still stay the same...now? I don't eat as much ice cream or chocolates any more. I get sick of them very easily and besides, I gain as much as I eat.

21 was the official -of.age- period and I have a few friends who got married young and divorced few years after. Some get pregnant and abortion follows thereafter. Well, at 25, most of them started to get married, then pregnant and have kids (probably divorcement would come later...or hopefully not). They start a family and learn parenting. I don't know but that is very new to me...almost alienating...

You don't worry much about finances when you are younger but at 25? I start to hate myself for not working hard enough, not earning as much and not achieving high enough. the digits remain the same and the dream remains a dream and heck, nowadays my doubt has come back to haunt.

At 25, the body shows signs of growing...older...the mind started to race because I am 25 and yet feels like a 20...and have an achievement of an 18. OH THE HORROR...wtf... =__+;

At 18, I was fresh and hopeless...at 21, I was still naive and young...at 22/23, I was older but not wiser and I've got a reflection of life. A reflection that I thought I could have avoided should I was wiser and more determined. 23 has been a lesson...it was a beautiful coincident...one which I still do not know if it's much of a regret or if it's much of a discovery period...but for sure, it was a consequence of my own actions and to my own accord (to a friend who has just turned 23...I hope your 23 would be one which you didn't go through the way I went through mine...learn from it and make possible for amendments if you think it shouldn't be the way it is now..)

Through all the stumbles and self-discovery...I guess the consolation of turning 25 would be myself writing a new chapter of life...a better chapter because for once .( ___________ ). am not filling in that blanks. I know you are reading this prolly at a later time but somehow yea, I just know you will read this part and smile because you know you fills up that blank.
