Happy Birthday
It has been 26 years since I was born.
There were a lot of things that I have done;
things that needed idiocy,
things that needed simplicity,
things that needed bravery,
things that needed the soul of a child,
things that needed to be done by a fangirl,
things that needed to be done without enough thoughts in mind,
things that I was forced to do,
and even things that I regretted.
I never imagined that I would live the life I have now.
When I was 7, I thought by this age, I would be married, have at least 1 kid, happy leading a working life as a teacher.
When I was 17, I thought by this age, I would be a successful surgeon, which is a really wishful thinking because I do not like Chemistry all that much.
When I was 21, I thought by this age, I have graduated with honours from my University and having a blast, or a blasted life, as a lawyer.
Now that I reached 26, already passing the quarter of a century part of my life, I am already a teacher. However, I am still trying to find that place that is just for me. I don't think I am suited for this job. Thus, I am still searching.
And now, I am dreaming to open a coffee shop like the ones that I've seen in Seoul where they provide warmth, comfort and a sense of peace to its customers. The shop would provide tasty beverages, tasty desserts that go well with coffee and LOTS of books. The shop will have comfortable chairs to sit on, even one or two of those comfy sofas, big windows so sunlight can come in without hindrance and an ambience that will make the customers will want to come back.
Well, that's just a dream. So, for now, I am focusing on leading a life that will not make me regret the decisions that I have made during the past years. I will make enough money to support my family so that my parents don't have to work so hard any more. I will travel to all those places that I have been dreaming about. I will have my own 4 wheel drive car. And also I will work hard to be a better Muslim. In syaa Allah.
23 February 2013. Happy birthday to me.
