Age is (not) just a number

To all couples who believes that age is just a number, congratulation.
It is a nice thing to know that love works through all circumstances.
But age works the opposite way in real life.
In your career, your way reaching your dreams, age is not just a number.
It is one of the indicator of success.
There are 2 things, 2 possibilities that can happen in your life.
First, you wake up next to your loved one, and you feel like, yes, this is it. this is how life should be. My dreams, my goals, I have it all here in my hand thanks for His grace. I have come to the point that I could not ask for more. This is it.
And there's another thing. You wake up in the middle of the night, wondering what have you done with your life, how many years you've lost, how many years you've thrown away.
And to be honest dear, one of this possibilities can happen to anyone, to you, or me. And dear, you determine your own life, it is choice and not fate.
Things are a lot easier when you're young.
When you still have so much time in figuring out what you want in life. When you still can decide how and with whom you want to do it with.
When you're young, you achieve a little and people will praise you for that. Go buy that gadget on your own, people will wow you.
Go handle big campus event, people will wow you.
Go fix your own car, people will wow you.
But get a little older, say 22, or 23 years old.
Do the same thing and nobody gives a damn.
People will say that it is natural, it is normal.
Or another example, make mistakes, people will understand you. That it is normal for people your age to make mistakes.
And when the older make mistake, get ready for another battle.
I used to think how great it is to be around those age, young and free.
But it is not young, and the word free seem to be meaningless.
So again, I'm gonna say the future is unseen, but you determine your own.
What you're doing now is pretty much affect what you're doing tomorrow.
So much from me, have a nice weekend!
