Last day of my 20’s

“You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you”, said Heraclitus. So is this moment. So I decided to jot down some notes and capture it before the next second is flowing on to me… (and as I speak and write, many new seconds have passed).

Many birthday celebrations have come prior to my special day. And yet it doesn't feel the same, because I know I still have many days to go before I need to start with a new number when writing down my age. So I am curious how I would feel as I wake up tomorrow, knowing I just got wiser and more mature and more grown up? I bet it would be amazing feeling. I'm ahead of my friends, who will only get to experience this moment after me - that's why it must be a great feeling... (Chip u, I'm looking at you right now...:P)

I don't intend to write long, because I want to save the longer post for when I turn 30. This post is just meant to capture what I am feeling right now right here:

- I'm very nervous because one of my colleagues said 9 days ago: "Vu, you are so energetic now. But trust me, in 9 days you won't be like that any more. Enjoy the last 9 days of your 20's". Guess he meant to say I would just be a "dead meat", potato-couch by then... Will see if he's right
- I'm also very excited, because lots of my friends said "Your life can only be better from here. You will be much more content in life. You are now officially grown up". You can probably most (if not all) of them are already over the hill, and thus passing me their wisdom!!
- I'm also at peace - I think I'm ready for it. Ready for a new decade of my life. Sad to leave my 20's behind, but ready for what lies ahead.

Let's the celebration begin. Goodbye to a wonderful 20's.
