I'm official 21. For my 21, I wish for wisdom. Wisdom to knowing what people are thinking, wisdom in the art of social skills, wisdom in academic work. For my 21, I wish for happiness. To be happy regardless of whether I'm with someone or not. To be happy to just spend time with myself. For my 21, I wish for the hunger to learn, the hunger to take in knowledge. To be able to think on my feet. To be able to answer to myself. Its official. I am 21.
Being 21 hasn't been what I imagine since young. I thought, when I would be 21, I would be like cinderella. Being swept away by my very own prince charming and live happily ever after. Note, this is when I was 7. After primary education, I started to see things in a different way. There is no more prince charming. There is just GUYS with thorns. Guys who would hurt you if you're not careful. So I put on an invisible armour around myself for protection. Till now, I'm still terrified by the thought of getting hurt. So much for being an adult huh. But I will stronger. The each day that pass by would be the the each pixel in me that would grow stronger. Its official. I am 21.
Being where am I now, I am grateful. Grateful for the friends that I have around me, grateful for the family that I have. Grateful for being on this earth this moment. There will be times that I tumble and fall. But I'm grateful that I know I will always have someone who would catch me when I fall. I'm grateful for you guys out there. You guys, mean the world to me. Every single individual that walk past my life, you guys gave meaning to my life. I am grateful. Thank you all the BFFs that I have. I am not a good friend. But thank you for standing by me when I need you. Thank you for just remembering that I was in your life before. For all this, I am grateful. Its official. I am 21.
Happy Birthday,
Vinci Chong
To new beginnings and more.
