Growing up ; Life at 21.Tuesday, January 26, 2016 | 7:17 PM | 0 comments
So a few weeks ago I made a resolution saying I would blog more.
---- well that didn't work out so well xD
Anyway, here's another one for the book.
I used to think it was a major thing when I turned the big 2 0 last March. Well, I guess it hit me pretty hard? Being 20 in a new country, new people, what's not to be big about?
This year, it hit me more that I'm not longer the kid that I've always wanted to be. Just last night I was browsing Instagram (yes, generation Y) and came across a friend who has just got engaged. At 21.
I realised how REAL all this has become. Yes, women(not girls anymore) my age are getting married. At my age. It's pretty scary. To think that we are entering this adult world so fast. And to be honest, there are times when I don't feel like an adult at all. Sure we have just entered 2016, but still...
it's crazy to be turning 21 in 2 months. I mean, I'm still gaming, still going out, still can't really drive( I'm working on it) ..and I'm still living in the same roof under my parents. And I STILL want to be that kid who can do all that. But the fact that I'm in uni, away from home, being responsible for what I do all on my own..can be scary. I mean, when I hit 18 that was supposed to be the case already, and I guess one matures with age.. that I just came to my senses recently. I guess I never really sat down to think about it. I don't really know what is to come in the future, if I will still be able to further my studies overseas, whether I'll have to come back to home soil, or even start all over again. But I hope that while I go through it step by step, The LORD will keep me on my toes to always trust Him and never forget what He has done for me. Life is taking me on a fast journey and if I'm not careful, I'll fail to appreciate what I have...and soon the time that I've lost..will be gone forever.
Life will always run along. Do we choose to chase it?
I've yet to find out.
Regards,
JT
