and so i have turned 20. i can no longer write a 1 at the front when filling the age column in forms like what i have been doing for the past 10 years. every year this day gets a little more subdued but i guess this is just how things function as you grow older, fortunately or unfortunately.
i have no grand aims for myself for the next year except for that I really do wish to remain strong in all that I do and plan to do. i've gotta redefine my aims and stay focused towards these targets despite the disorientation caused by serving time in the armed forces. put it simply, i really do want to become a better person, but it takes tremendous courage and self-determination to actually do so. it's always tempting and comfortable to take the easy way out, but i guess that's not the right way to go, isn't it?
so i've gotta keep these 3 words - courage, focus and determination - at the back of my mind wherever i go. for now i shall turn to my bed and ponder over my aims for the next year. and tomorrow, if things were planned, and they go according to plan, i shall celebrate this day in a more light hearted fashion, like the way it should be.
