I Turned 21 Yesterday

So, I kicked off my birthday just chilling and giving myself a well-deserved break. Kinda sounds sad, right? But seriously, I treated myself to the best meal ever, forgot to snap pics for the blog, and then played around with some awesome new makeup at Sephora. I was having a blast, basically.

Turning 21 has left me feeling kinda mixed about getting older. There's this weird sadness knowing I can't stop time. And don't even get me started on all the responsibilities and commitments looming ahead. I'm definitely not ready for that phase of life yet.

I've always been anxious about the future. It's scary not knowing how things will turn out. But hey, I'm working hard to make my future awesome. Trust me, it's a lot of effort, but I'm giving it my all.

I Turned 21 Yesterday

Now that all of this is swirling in my head, I just need to find some peace. I do feel content. I'm alive, happy with my life—though it could be even better, but that's another story. I've got all my favorite people around me, and I've been on the Dean's list for four semesters straight? Not bad. My little baby blog makes me proud, even though I struggle to keep it active. There's so much to be thankful for, and I'm just going to say I'm happy and grateful.

These feelings have really clarified what I want to do and become. I've got some resolutions lined up for next year that I actually want to achieve. Wish me luck!

Anyway, this is just a quick update from me, feeling a bit older and not loving it. Got to post something or people might think I've disappeared! Haha! But what really matters is I'm alive and blessed, right? Grateful for every breath.

What are your thoughts on growing older?

  7. responsibilities are what I am anxious about when getting older. Everything we do, we decide need to be done with cautions and think about all possible consequences. I learned that we need to plan for the future but don't put too high expectation that everything we planned is going to happen. Sometimes, things we thought are good for us can be so bad actually. T_T

    Anwyayyyy, happy belated birthday dear! :D sorry lambattt, taktahu hehe dan tak berkesempatan nak blogging lately. Take care!
