20th • 2 decades | the traveler
When comes to the age of 20, everything seems whole lot different. When being 19, you can tell yourself that you are only one year older than 18 and it is still fine to be reckless and act like kids. But when comes to 20, it seems the '2' gives me pressure to change, as if it is a curse that makes people grow. Learning a new word recently from The Five People You Meet In Heaven, a book that I bought in 2012 yet I still haven't finished reading it in 2017. (soon though) Pristine: [new or almost new, and in very good condition]. I particularly like this word because it makes me feel so calm and relaxed and it is somewhat I hope I am. Looking the world with pristine eyes and to be curious to life and every moments to keep motivated.
I am not good at writing stuff and it always looks so clumsy but I know it is a good way to record my life. In the age of 20, I am still grateful for having the best family and friends, as past years. It is them who make 31st May a unique day and a memorable one. Receiving blessing from old friends is heartwarming too. As you grow older and older, you do not ask for a big party but a small dinner with the most important ones will do. There's no exception for this year. I had a date with Amy in the daytime and hotpot with family at night. As casual as it might be, this is what I enjoyed a lot. And most importantly, took good pictures and had a nice birthday cake <3
I don't want to type a whole passage reflecting the past 19 years or listing out all the things I want to do in the future. (except for having a bf haha sincerely hoping he pops up in my 20th) Just to remind myself, keep learning and keep being optimistic, you simply lose the meaning of life once you stop learning, no matter about the world, yourself or knowledges. I have recently picked up books to read and I find it quite fruitful. I don't want electric stuffs to occupy my life again. Another thing to mention, is to find an interest and invest into it. I felt so bored after Year2 Uni ended and all left were countless tutoring and earning money. But tutoring doesn't give me any satisfaction to life and I felt meaningless everyday.
There are still more to be updated next time.....
