Much Ado About Digits... Little Did I Know.

"Isn't it funny? This feeling inside... I'm not one of those who can easily hide" - Sir Elton John

I just noticed that the ID number for my monitor is the same as my birthdate and year of birth according to the DD/MM/YY format. What a coincidence. Little did I know, the digits have been staring at me day-in, day-out all this while for the past 10 months.

Isn't it funny...? How we don't notice things that are right smack in front of us and find it oh so amusing and sometimes amazing when we finally do.

Moving on...

Lately, I've been reminded over and again of the inevitable big 30 approaching. I will as the months pass, be ticking a different box when it comes to age groups. During lunch two days ago, I was surrounded by colleagues who are not even in their mid-20s yet. I was the eldest, and the youngest of them just received her key to freedom.

It was then at that moment in time when my noodles were slithering down my throat, I remembered. I remembered telling myself when I was her age, that if I didn't do a particular thing before my front digits change, I would never ever do it. There was a reason, although not quite a valid one (to those who know) to justify the age limit I imposed on myself. Other than that, it was merely something I set for myself for the heck of it to see if it could come true.

I also decided that no, it was not something I'll work on purposely (it was not going to be the bane of my existence for there were other priorities at hand) but just as seasons change, a natural progression should follow. Years ago at 21, I felt it was achievable, there was surety in me but I knew little in the past and by the looks of it presently, I won't be doing it anytime soon. Because, as mentioned a natural progression should follow and it is not my move to make.

Needless to say, life doesn't necessarily work out the way we planned it to be in the whole or when it comes to certain aspects of it. Learn, accept and adapt to change is the way to go if we want to progress forward. Therefore, this means deciding on a new age target for that thing I would like to embark on when fate allows. Hhmm, I'll have a think about it. And repeating in other words from as mentioned, achieving the target is not going to be my sole mission in the next few years. No sirree. I'll just enjoy the mini happies for now and perhaps down the road, there'll be one or two good surprises in store. I'll just simply, live life.

Sometimes you don't choose things, they either happen or they don't. Whether or not it works to your advantage or otherwise, whether or not it brings you happiness or sadness, is another matter. We just have to believe and not lose sight of hope. In addition, we've got to keep the faith in the One above (that He has got it sorted out), trust in the fact that everything happens for a reason and it's all going to be alright.
