Being 22 has been an interesting experience. The first half of it was nothing out of the ordinary but my second half was very conflicting. I experienced sadness and joy all in the span of less than a month (watching Inside Out as I was typing this It's a very good movie!). October was a bad month for me, but November redeemed itself, and then December rolled around and it was much better.
I have challenged myself so much this year. I've done things I never thought of doing. I went to Penang with Natty and it was a great experience staying in a mixed dorm. I met a new friend who constantly challenges me to go outside of my comfort zone and be better in general, and I am thankful for that. Then I went alone to Ho Chi Minh City to meet my friend and it was amazing. It was amazing because after almost 5 years, I finally had freedom again, albeit only for a while. But it was still better than nothing, considering that my parents are crazy protective. Hello, I'm 23, I can handle myself very well, okay!
Here's to a more exciting year ahead as a 23-year-old. This age will mark a milestone in my life because this is the year that I will graduate and exit into the real world as a full-fledged adult. I can't wait (omg no I really don't want to do this but I will have to eventually). I already have plans to go to Europe the moment I am done and when I have money of course, because I don't learn French for nothing. Shit. I still have about 10 months til I graduate and to figure my life out, so I will just let the chips fall where they may. But going overseas is definitely on my list, and I have to accomplish this.
Goodbye 22, you've been a good learning and growing age. Hello 23, I hope you're more mature yet never stop laughing at fart jokes!
