Happy 23rd birthday to me!! And as a gift for myself I’ve decided to make this blog to share some of my stories, my thoughts as well as practicing my writing skill in English (so for those who read this blog, YES you are going to find a bunch of grammatical error). And please please PLEASE don’t judge me just because my English sucks >,< Please keep in mind that English is not my first language (and it won’t be, hidup Indonesia!!^^)
Anyway, 23 years old, I feel so old -_-“
2 years ago when I turned 21 I felt so good about it, I mean come on, turning 21 is like winning a jackpot or something for SOME people, it means no more fake ID and a symbol of maturity (especially here in States). I have to admit that I went to club with my girls right away that night and using my OWN (not fake) State ID ;D, no I didn’t get fucked up (luckily!)and got home safely.
What to do when you turn 23?
Soo,,, I spent some times think about this (I even googled it and didn’t really get the right answer). Well, everyone has different things that they want to do / accomplished in their life. In my opinion, 1 thing for sure when you turn 23 you NEED to be mature enough to decide what you want to be, what you want in your life and make your own life goal’s milestones. When you are 23 you are MATURE already, it is not a SYMBOL of maturity anymore. You are an all grown up person!! 23 is about able to make decision, starting from deciding whether you are going to continue your study to master degree or not, if not which job offer you should accept. If you already have a job then it is time for you to decide whether you like your current job or not.
21 yo vs 23 yo (from my point of view)
Apparently, according to my observation (doesn't mean this is applied to everyone though) when you are 21 years old you will feel like you are in the process of becoming a grown up woman, but yet were not forced to be mature in various aspect of your life. For example, when I was 21 years old, I still using my parent's money to shop, to pay my rent and to buy food. In most (or maybe in every) decision I made, I need to ask what my parents think and whether they allow me to do it or not. This give me less responsibility, because when sometimes goes wrong I could blame my parents (for giving me the wrong advise or even not letting me do something that I think is right). Now, I am 23 years old, most of the time (if not always) I make decision by myself (my life my rule!! Yeahh ^^v) which make me think twice before deciding or doing something because whenever i choose to do something unwisely I couldn't blame others. When you are 23 years old it is time for you to start planning your life and not "go with the flow" any longer. I mean, look around you!! Most of my high school friends are currently saving up for their wedding, some are even married >,<
So I am 23, then what?
That the question that keep running through my mine. I know what I want in life, I have a pretty nice job, I have my own income, I made (mostly) right decision (so far) and I am 23 years old. Too much pressure? Yes (sometimes). Why?
Maybe because I'm scared being pressured to get married soon >,<
Maybe because I'm scared I will hate my next job.
Maybe because I'm scared to make wrong decision.
23, Solution?
Don't be scared!! My sister gave me a very nice quote a few days ago:
"Plan your life with pencil and let Jesus have the eraser".
This is simply means let Jesus plan your life and do nothing.
This is simply means do your best, plan out your life, but let Jesus decide what will happen next.
I've heard a really good story about 'a full picture', basically sometimes we couldn't see why something happen in our life, what is the big picture of our life. Be honest, have you ever get sad, angry, or disappointed when something that not according to your plan happen? Because I had (in so many times =p) But then most of them turned out to be good things in the end.
When you let God lead you and your life good things will happen. (I did not say when though, sometimes it come fast sometimes it took you so long but it will)
What you need to do?
Let you have faith and not fear =)
So happy 23rd birthday again to me and I want to share a video made by my best besttt besttttt friend as my birthday present.
