24

Mizu no Tenshi

Another year will be added to my age tomorrow, November 8. 24 and I already feel old. It's funny how when you are young that you want to grow-up as soon as possible, and when you have grown old you want to go back to being young again.

Whenever you talk about something you usually start with "Nung panahon natin..." (translation: "When we were younger..." or "Back in the day...") What usually follows is how different today's generation to your generation and how things were better before than now. (Old people are often gulity with this)

It's been almost 2 years since I graduated from college, yet I feel as if it has been more than that. I think that you mature faster once you leave school and realization about your concern for your future sets in. Lately, this is what I have been thinking about. I have mentioned before how I do not want to make very detailed plans about my future but instead, I make vague plans that can easily be modified to suit my preference. It's most probably because I do not want to tie myself to a single pursuit and then later on regret all the effort I exerted should I fail to achieve that goal.

They say that with age comes maturity, but this is not true for everyone. Indeed, some people become more immature as they grow older. Age and wisdom is distinct from one another and should not be equated. It is possible for someone to be wise at a young age, and I hope that it would be for me.
