Fools 4ever

Sometime I have to remind myself (also to many other people) that I am actually .....
well 25
an odd number and an odd age...
There is one side of me who wants to be old enough to make him own decision, who does not like to be advised, Blah, Blah...... and there is this other side that wants to play in dirt, go swimming, in nutshell be a child again.

I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope...

Having said all that its not that I want to turn the Hour glass. Fast forward to today as I face reality, I quite like my reality I am a engineer (by degree only), working in a MNC, project leader only within two years. I want the sand to remain intact, I just want the sand to take a different shape.

But this special behavior is not limited to me, there are other human around me who display the same behavior. As I once said to a good friend of mine " How can people expect me to remember their birthdays when they them self dont act any older"

I believe that wisdom comes with age like wine, what I really want is to live each minutes of my life with smile and meaning.

Grey’s Anatomy had a brilliant quote for this "here comes a point in your life, when you’re officially an adult. Suddenly, you’re old enough to vote, drink and engage in other adult activities. Suddenly, people expect you to be responsible, serious, a grown-up. We get taller, we get older. But do we ever really grow up?” - Meredith Grey (Grey’s Anatomy)
But there is no absolute answer to this " what does it really mean to be a grown up" ?
