of becoming 30 and newton’s first law of motion ;=)
I’m not really 30 yet … not for another 27 days, that is! Is it obvious that the thought of being 30 consumes me? ;=)
My friend once told me on my 20th birthday … the first decade is lived for you … the second decade is spent learning, discovering, exploring … the third decade is when you apply those learnings and those discoveries … hmmm … what about the fourth decade??!
I keep on thinking what to do on my 30th birthday exactly … I have a friend once who went to a studio and had his portrait photograph taken! (hehe … if you’re reading this … you know who you are! … never got the chance to see that photo, BTW! ;=) hmmm … should I do that? To freeze in time that ‘historic’ moment when I ceased to be categorized as 20-something? Or maybe I can do something totally out of character … maybe I can get drunk! Hmmm … I have 26 days to figure it out! ;=)
Actually, despite appearances … I’m really looking forward to being 30! Maybe it’s the change I’m looking for to give my life a fresh new boost! I’ve been lagging lately … my life has settled in a near comfortable pace (read: boring)! It has become so routinary and predictable that I have to scare myself from time to time to give it a new twist! ;=) I need an outside push … that external force to dislodge me from this inertial pace my life seems to have taken these last few weeks (er … months … years!!!) hmmm … maybe this is what I’ve been waiting for … or maybe I shouldn’t be waiting at all … or maybe being 30 is just that … aging … adding another year … not some made-up super milestone in my life I am making it out to be … or maybe I should be working and finishing my yield report rather than mulling over being 30 as if I can stop it from happening …
