The first year of your twenties, the legal age to adulthood, the year of exploration. Just like how many of my friends who have passed their twenty first mentioned; once you passed this particular year, time passed so fast that you did not realise it.

To me, twenty one WAS a fantasy. The age where I can explore and do anything that I like. I THOUGHT twenty one was supposed to be a year of celebration. It should be my greatest celebration amongst all my other birthdays! OR SO I THOUGHT. After a lovely celebration with my 3 besties, they taught me that this was not quite so.

We had a short 2 day 1 night celebration where we eat, drink, chit chat and laugh to our hearts content. Just at that moment when I was laughing so hard, I realised that it is not the celebration that matters. It is the people who accompanied you during the celebration who are the greatest source to your joy. It is also today, after the end of our celebration that I realised that everything will pass, no matter fun or boring, good or bad. My birthday celebration has passed but I still have the memories of last night which we had fun. It was the friends whom I had that gave me my happiness.

Since I was 17, I have contemplating on the meaning of life. I have been thinking, whats the point of living since it is so difficult and stressful. Why do we like to repeat the process of eating, living and dying when we already know what will happen in this short life given to everyone? Looking at these birthday presents, I guess thats the meaning of my living. No amount of wealth and properties can give one forever happiness. But knowing that I have friends who even remember my birthday and choose presents for me made everything worthwhile.

The opportunity to have friends who will always be with me from their own willingness rather than out of need, made everything worth it. I guess one just can't be too greedy to want to have more friends. Theres probably a reason why I had the time of my life in poly and suffering now. I probably had enough friends to last me a lifetime already rather than having a lot of them now. I must hold this gratitude always and make the best out of the moments with these precious people.
