I exist in this world for 28 years already.
THANK YOU LORD FOR THE GIFT OF LIFE! That was fast, it has
been decades. Time flies really fast, it seems like it was just yesterday
since I started my journey and now I am already 28.
I will admit that at this point of my life, I really feel
unsatisfied, not because I am not yet getting and achieving my life-long goals
but it seems that there’s something missing. I am 28 years old but I really can
not live up to the title. I am childish and immature and those 28 year-old people that I
know are really far from what I am today. There are all successful in their own
ways and makes a name in their fields of interest. I know my time will come, I
just have to wait. Anyways, I can almost see the finish line approaching. But
there are really those times that the idea of jealousy and being envious
ignites inside of me.
I know it is really immature to think of such things, I am
being shallow-minded of interpreting and accepting the gift of life that our
Father, is giving to me unselfishly.
I am eternally grateful for all the blessings that He has
given me that makes me appreciate a good life, for the upheavals and trials he gave on me which made me stronger and helped me realized the idea of life’s
bitter sweet reality and most of all for the love which is supported by
guidance and protection which he unconditionally gives through my ever beloved
family and friends.
Age is just a number and young is an attitude, as what the
ad says. I want to believe in such thing because I think I am not suited for my
age. I can not feel that I am a 28 old lass who has a responsibility
of giving my family a good life which they are expected of me since I am the "ilaw ng tahanan", of helping them raised our family and of being a good daughter in every
single and possible way that I could. I know it’s very cliche, the idea of
being the one to give the anticipated success in life that your family is
counting and holding on. I am in the long and life-time process of learning. I
have to know why I am here and what is my purpose. It wouldn’t be easy, I know
there are lots of people, who, until now, eventhough they’re old enough, still,
couldn’t know what their real purpose is.
I am very positive that everything will be okay. Now that I
am no longer a teenager, a sad reality that I really need to accept though it
doesn’t still sink in up to this point, I have to act my age. Yikes! I feel
old. Highly exaggerated but I do.
I am proud that I have reached this age because not
everyone gets this chance to reach such age. Again, thank you Lord. Praises and
cheer!
Live life to the fullest!!!
