So a couple of years back a friend of mine was completely freaking out about turning 25 and I could not understand what all the drama was about. Being a naive 21 year old I could not imagine why having a great big birthday party would be scary.
"Its like I am going to reach half my life" he said trying to explain the situation to me.
It didn't work.
l I still didn't get it.
That is till last November when I turned 23.
The moment I turned 23 was awful. I didn't physically feel any different and nothing monumental happened.
Everything stayed exactly the same. And that was the problem. My life isn't going anywhere important
I turn on the news and they have 23 year old boy saves a friends life, 21 girl start a foundation blah blah blah and not just strangers I don't know, my own friends are going places. Getting cool jobs, getting married, traveling. fulfilling their dreams.
But not me. This November I am going to be turning 24 and I still haven't had the guts to do something!!! Anything!!!
Its not as easy to look at life as it was when i was younger but complaining about it has taken me absolutely no where.
I feel that all humans have is memory: to live through for generation from accomplishing something amazing is probably the greatest honor of all.
So that's what this is all about finding that one special thing that will set me apart and help me be remembered when i die.
To be honest I don't know what or how yet. But I have decided to do something worth immortalizing before I turn 25 so that means I have 1yr and 1 month...
