Late 20s versus Early 20s
My birthday is coming up this weekend. This is the first time in a long time I'm spending it in Singapore, so it's gonna be good. I'm unambiguously, undeniably in my LATE 20s! Gosh.
Mom's making blueberry cheesecake, Ashley's sending some mysterious package from Sydney that hopefully contains Krispy Kremes...
For Saturday night, I'd kill to be taken for a nice quiet meal in a restaurant that has gd food and great service. Just dying for some good conversation. That's happiness for me.
Realised this is a good age to be, compared to my early 20s, coz:
1.You stop feeling unsure of who you are. You are totally at ease with yourself. No more of that "Do I look all right?", "Am I too nice?", "Should I play dumb?". I am who I am. Deal with it.
2.You feel more stable and secure, even when the shit hits the fan, coz you stopped thinking it's your fault life isn't perfect. You savour the good bits of life with relish, and take the bad bits with grace.
3.You realise that dreams are always worthwhile to have, and dreams do come true.
4.You have been hurt enough to know not to hurt people. Ever.
5.You know life's too short to endure toxic people, eat yucky food and try to like music that you hate.
6.You finally understand that when it comes to friends, quality far outweighs quantity.
7.You no longer feel obliged to complete a Top Ten list.

'You have been hurt enough to know not to hurt people. Ever.'
True for the first part, but the second part's a tad too optimistic for me...I mean, I tend to still hurt people, selectively, on purpose or by default. sad but true.
