what it means to turn 21
12:46 AM even as I typed my post this afternoon, what ran through my head was how much fun it was going to be planning my birthday party. maybe mom's right, that all I think about is how to have fun. travelling to faraway places and meeting and making new friends on exchange, playing tennis, organising an extravagant birthday celebration. it seems like in almost everything I've been doing, fun has been a constant pursuit. but then as Stacey's dad thanked God for bestowing such a lovely daughter to him and his wife, and spoke about the real meaning of turning 21, and of being a youth, he said something along the lines of, 'even as she(stacey) may believe that 21 is the age of freedom, it is really an age of responsibility, when she will be seen in the eyes of the law as a fully responsible adult.' and as I listened to that, I found the reason why people celebrate 21st birthdays. not simply because it is the norm to do so, and that it might be the only time I could enjoy a big birthday celebration and invite all the people you know, but rather to share with the people who've walked along with you for the past 21 years of your life, the moment you begin a fresh slate as an adult.. and pray that these same supportive people will be there with you as well as you tread the coming years of your adult life, helping you to always make the right decisions when faced with crossroads. I can't deny being touched more than just a little by what Stacey's father said. and while I now look forward to my 21st with a new perspective, I think I've also become more sentimental in some way. For one, I will treat my friend's 21st birthdays with more sacrity, certainly more than I did before this, and be grateful that I was invited to the party, because I must have at one point in his/her life made some (however minute) difference to be remembered and invited. thank you so much for inviting me tonight, Stacey dear. have a blessed 21st. 0 comments |
ely belly Welcome to the drunk mootoo tiger's blog. This is the blog of a nonsensical 22 year-old. All posts are true accounts of misadventures in my life. misadventurer
I'm a shopaholic, a chocoholic, an alcoholic, a clubbaholic, an eataholic, a music junkie, a traveler.
I love crying in the movies, love cookies and popcorn, love lazing at home and love making people laugh.
I'm addicted to Johnson's Baby lotion, to my mom's cooking and to sinful desserts.
I cannot multi-task, I cannot drive, and I'm afraid of heights but I enjoy rollercoasters.
I like to be around people with whom I don't have to care if they think I'm crazy drinking bak kut teh from a straw.
I've never taken the reverse bungee, never been to the US, and never dyed my hair pink.
And I want to go on an misadventure once in my life.
