I’m another year older and more grateful.
So I recently turned 24. Somehow being 24 feels so different. Like whenever I talk to anyone I want to tell them “Oh hello! I’m Inah and I’m 24 years old”. Like being in this age is something so important and it feels like I’m on a different phase in life.
I’ve had a conversation with a colleague of mine before, she asked me how old am I and by that time I was still 23. She told me that it seems like I’m the kind of person who rush things in life. I believe that she mean it in a good way though. She started talking about how young am I to be living alone and working in a foreign country far from my hometown. And not everyone has that courage and she ends our conversation telling me that I should maybe try to slow down. After that, I’ve asked myself “Am I really moving too fast in this life?”
Opening up bithday presents. I don't know which year though
Now that I’ve reached this age I felt like reality had hit me so hard in a way that it made me question if I’m living my life the way that it should be. There are times that I hope by this age of mine I should have achieved another bachelor degree and perhaps on art. Or I’m already in a stable relationship (if there is) and be with someone to build a future with. I don’t know…
After blowing the candles from my bithday cake I decided to put some icing on my face for picture purposes I guess
One thing is for sure though, I’m more grateful. Grateful about everything, the good and the bad. Grateful that I have another year in this life. I’ve also learned not to put pressure on myself. I mean everyone has their own perfect timing in life. But at the same time we shouldn’t rely and wait for things to happen. It’s also important to act on things that we want. And honestly I feel old though. Not because of being 24 but I guess because of the experiences that I’ve thrown myself into.
Last 13th of April, I’d spent my day meditating and camping on the beach away from the city. It was a pure bliss.
