Yesterday, I turned 27. I feel young and old at the same time. Young- because there are still many years ahead of me (hopefully). Old- because some of my friends are already starting families of their own.
I start reflecting about my life. What have I done? What have I accomplished? What have I overcome?
In terms of monetary gain, I don’t have much. But in terms of personal growth, I have grown tremendously.
I feel a lot wiser.
Awaken, I should say.
I know what I want.
I know what makes me happy.
I am doing things that I enjoy.
I am truly living.
Meaning, is what I strive for.
Passion, is what pushes me.
I don’t want to be a living robot.
Following orders.
Doing the same tasks repeatedly.
You’re unrealistic, they say.
I know.
That is ok.
I shall continue.
I have dreams.
I have a voice.
I will write my own story.
But I am still in pain.
I am struggling.
Sometimes I cannot see the light.
I am crying.
That is ok.
I shall continue.
My idea of success may differ from yours.
Most aim for a house, car, and things.
But I, only want to be pain free & do what I love.
My parents are disappointed.
But I have a vision.
Perhaps no one else can see it.
I am sad.
That is ok.
I shall continue.

It wasn’t my intention to make my post sound like poetry. I have so much I wanted to say, but it came out like that.
Sometimes, less is more.
Grow with me 
Follow where your heart leads 😉

Houses and cars are things that society instill into us, of what they think a good life is. It’s good you look beyond that, into what makes you happy. I heard someone say, “What is success, when success is without happiness”, and I totally agree with that.
Thank you for your comment!! 🙂
What is a good life to you?
A simple life where I care for other people and others for me. Of course, I wouldn’t mind traveling the world too.
