29 years old and a little bit more

So here I am at 29 years old of age and a little bit before turning 30. I asked friends who already at that stage how they feel about turning 30. Some said 'nothing change, just usual', others said 'they feel a little bit curious about what will they do next, considering they (probably) at their half time of existence in the world', but most would feel uneasy, knowing that at their age of 30 they haven't reached what they already planned in their life. So, loads of questions arise in my head, 'what about me? what I already accomplished in life? do I make progress? have I managed my time and make good use of it? what I already do for the society?'

Frankly, on the day on my 29th birthday, I just feel the usual. On that day I had to work all day, and the nice surprise came at the end of my working hour, my best friend provided a birthday cake that she reserved specially for this occasion. Some of friends and collegues then joint us and have theirselves a piece of birthday cake and later we went to a restaurant to have dinner as a celebration of my birthday.

Before going home me and my best friend stop by to a coffee shop and our barista friends, knowing that that day is my birthday saving a choco muffin as my birthday cake. It's very lovely of them.

I came home and suddenly I felt that I'm not the same person I used to be. I've been trough lots of things, my life has been ups and downs but till today I managed those things that nearly not possible before.

And I decided, my life is not usual, birthday is a probably a reminder for all of us about who we are, what we already did and how we'd like to colour our lives.

Happy 29th birthday!
