My mom came into my room just now asking if I wanted to celebrate my 21st and if so, how? To be honest, I don't know the answer to that. I'm not really a party kind of person.
2 months ago we were still bathing in the new year spirit, rejoicing our survival of the 21.12.12 apocalypse, and making a long list of "things I want to achieve in 2013", which (c'mon; let's not lie to ourselves), is way too far from seeing its first item struck out. Well, let's not get too dejected yet. After all, the year has only just started :)
I had a short chat with my boss today, about the application of scholarships. To my surprise, I got a response that put me into a bit more perspective. I understood how people - scholars - think about other people, and I think it might be better keeping that sentiment to myself. In case you were wondering, it wasn't all good, but it did make a lot of sense, and made me think a little more about myself as a person, what I want to achieve, as well as how much of myself I am willing to give up.
As we reach the end the month, take some time to muse the kind of person we really are, and contemplate whether 2013 us is going to be much difference from 2012 us. What and how would we change, if we do, and why do we feel the need to do so? It's time to start asking ourselves some questions, before we find ourselves carrying our resolutions forward every year in a never-ending pursuit of procrastinated dreams.
