today, or to be more precise, about
10 minutes earlier, was my 22nd birthday.
coincidently, i was born on teachers' day.
am i meant to be a teacher?
yes.
i will go for this goal, and leave the rest to God.
in retrospect, there was change in my conduct and mind.
ten years ago, i read nothing but the entertainment and sports
section of a newspaper.
five years ago, i started to read commentaries and have a
critical view about what was going on.
two years ago, i challenged myself to read finance section and
business week, though most of which was greek to me, at least
it was a progress.
hours ago, i was jogging on the athletic field.
freshmen and sophomore were gossiping on chick flicks, love affairs, etc.
as a senior, we focus on serious matters, like internship, and
teahcers' recruitment exam.
obviously, i am old.
seven years ago, i chose brand names such as nike, reebok, or adidas.
at that time, t-shirts dominated my wardrobe.
seven years later, i started to go to shops like tommy, g2000, 1881, etc.
shirts did add more variety to the originally dull wardrobe.
i used to fall in love.
but now i am out of love.
i use to feel down on major festivals.
but everything is ok now.
somehow, it is hard for me to re-ignite the desire for romance.
people say i give up love for bread. hmm, you are not wrong.
sometimes solitude is a blessing in disguise.
how time flies.
as i think about the past, that was five or ten years ago, instead of
one or two.
i have no clue when mind games, material vanity, and maturity crept into
inside of me, and replaced the original childlike innocence.
age does take away someting(youth, innocence), but bring in someting
(responsibiliy, expection)too.
age leads a no-go-back journey.
in the end, i say to myself, happy birthday.
my eyes won't degenerate anymore.
i will have a good job in the future.
and finally, all my friends, will stay fine.
that's all the three wishes
silently and invisibly, I blew out the candles.
