Birthday Blues

Today is my birthday and I'm officially over the hill. I am now described as LATE-twenties. Gone are the days I can pretend that I'm still in my MID-twenties.

What have I learnt from these 28 years? Here are some:

  • We are who we choose to be
  • Decisions we make come with repercussions
  • Everyone makes mistakes. Some big major ones. Some very hurtful ones too
  • Forgiving is easy, forgetting is hard, trusting again is almost impossible
  • Good friends are those who respect your choices, and never laughs AT you when the choices are wrong
  • Those who laugh with you doesn't necessarily cry with you
  • The world is never black and white
  • Gossips are easy to tell and spread, they are vicious and mean
  • Truth is hardly even seen, tho everyone ask for it. However most can't deal with it
  • A hug or a phone call is always better than a SMS
  • TV waste alot of time which can be spent talking/being with ppl and not just sending SMSes
  • Money can't buy happiness. I have not met a single rich brat which is truly happy with all the things that money can buy them
  • Talk is easy and cheap
  • A listening ear is very hard to find
  • Accepting that other ppl have their own views and standards is very hard. Most of us want to change people
  • Humour is really important in life
  • When I'm with real friends, I can laugh and cry at the same time
