By high school, this changed to an engineer who was drawing pictures of the internal combustion engine and learning organic chemistry. I had a definite ten year plan – to finish college, get a postgraduate degree, get married, settle down, had decided what color my sofas should be and where we’d vacation for the summer.
As I turned 23 I realize that growing older doesn’t necessarily mean I have all the answers.
Or any of them.
I haven’t figured out a career, haven’t settled down, Hell! I haven’t figured out how to change a tyre. My best laid plans have often been turned upside down in 12.8 seconds and I have absolutely no idea where I’ll be spending my next birthday. As I see dear friends around me get engaged and pick home furnishings, I realize I have a long way to go before I really ‘find’ myself.
If the past twenty three years have been anything to go by however, the journey is as exciting as any destination would be.
the destination varies, the journeys are the same carried out with passion and energy. Wish you a great journey!
It makes us Wiser that is.
joy of life is in its unpredictability and we always try to kill it by planning everything and trying to sort things out.
atleast thats how i see it.
A navy man…is what I wanted to be…dressed in respledent whites…and hopefully a watery grave would have capped the voyage off purrfectly…
Happy Birthday!
