thinking back.
and tho this may come a few months too early..
last friday, while doing my hair,
the lady asked me how old i was,
and confidently and honestly answered,
"18!"
until 20 min later when i sheepishly realised my mistake.
last sunday,
i was talking to my church kids about being one body in Christ.
i believe in going with the flow, and somehow the topic of the war in Iraq came about.
when i asked my kids if they remembered what happened,
they retaliated so fast and so loud,
"why should we know? we weren't even born yet!"
i am quickly approaching two decades of my life,
and not until recently did i really start to appreciate a huge bit of what has happened in my life.

ive so often looked at many a situation that has gone by with pessimism and disregard,
but only on hindsight do i realise how much each has helped me grow in a different and positive way.
from the top of my head ill list the top 5:
5. patience.
4. whats the opposite of being a gullible gully?
3. the ability to adapt accordgly to situations. caméléon
2. resilience and a thicker skin.
1. common sense. more than what people realise, more than i dare to admit for fear of unnecessary confrontation. but still, yes plenty of it.
i dont exactly embrace the idea of growing older,
but im ready to see more of what i can do.
bring it on.
hopeful
crappy
gloomy
contemplative
