Mr. Sun hasn't really showed up since December of last year and so I woke up early to this cold Wednesday morning January 22, 2014. Yes, today's the 22nd and is my natal day. Since I'm a year older, I guess I'm supposed to be wiser and smarter. I find it sad, been working my a** off on a graveyard shift for the longest time and didn't realize I am getting older not enjoying life itself as much as I should have.
I hope it's not too late to start a hardcore savings this year to prepare for a better and brighter tomorrow. I am definitely not getting any younger and I need to plan what I really want. Friends and acquaintances my age are either engaged, married, or have already started their own family and it's no longer a surprise getting all those last minute facebook announcements every now and then.
At this age, my career isn't really in good shape though I'm glad I got regularized recently. Though working as a telephone banker isn't much of a fulfilling job but with the good compensation I get, I think it's enough to compensate for keeping it and to provide my needs and my wants for now. Friends may have become quite distant because I allowed it to happen yet I know they are just there if I would need them. Reaching out to them can be sometimes difficult or so I thought. It wasn't them but it was me who opted to isolate myself from social gatherings thinking it was for the best. My family however, never failed to support me with life's ups and downs all these time. At some point when I thought life hasn't been that good to me, I remember that there's also this new found love which is only a year and a five months old that has made life amazing for me.
Today, as I celebrate another year I am thankful for all the things I have and I don't have, for the people who left and those who never left me. I am thankful for everything that has happened and those that never did. I am thankful for being simply who I am. Indeed, it's a Happy Birthday to me.
