Today (and for the next three hours) is my little sister's 20th birthday.
She is so beautiful. : )
I feel old. : /
Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm only 25, I should not be whining about my age although every time one of my siblings gets another year older or reaches a milestone I start to feel old.
My 22 year old sister is having a baby this year, while it is the most exciting and beautiful event ever, it is hard (as the eldest) not to feel jealous/scared/old, especially when people wonder when it will be my turn.
It's at this time I have to remind myself that I have taken the long and tiresome road of university, whilst my siblings and others are partying/having babies/getting married/ travelling/all round being awesome I am at home textbook bound, stareing wide-eyed at the computer screen wondering WHY?
Why did I choose to study? why do I care about my results? Why can't I just be satisfied with a job at McDonalds....Now I feel better!
There are days where I question my choices and the there are times when I can see the bigger picture, its blurry, but there I am qualified. Me.
Going back to school has been the hardest yet most rewarding decision I have ever made.
What's been a powerful decision in your life?
