Best things about being 23 (copied from google)
1. your old enough to know wtf is going on but young enough not to care.
2. if you dont have kids by now, you probably wont have any for a loooooong time because you know better.
3. people still think your 18!
4. your brain is still in high school, while your life slowly drifts towards the thirties.
5. your mom asks you why you dont come by enough, you actually have a legitimate excuse.
6.you start to realize that the money you make looks better in the bank than in a beer or flatscreen tv with cable
7. you realize that you really dont have to apologize for anything as long as your making it on your own.
8. your priorities change for the better. you start to live for yourself rather than someone else.
9.your more comfortable in your own skin.
10. assuming that whatever youve been through hasnt made you super jaded or angry, you can actually find peace to be yourself and enjoy life instead of be cynical and sarcastic all the time.
You know how the Song goes, Nobody likes you when your 23, and I will be spending the bulk of the rest of my 22 year old life getting from Los Angeles to Cleveland. Before I wrote this, i looked at the blog i wrote exactly 1 year ago to figure out what was going on and how it is interpretted a year from the day. It's kind of a blessing to be able to recollect the trials, and the adventures I was apart of last year. I get to keep them, it is a blessing, almost as much a blessing as living this long itself. Blood pressure is low, my stress is above average, and our work is never over.
I have to mention that last year today, i made a promise to myself that i would dunk a basketball, which is yet to happen, while i said i would delete this blog, I resent that statement, because me losing this blog is like me taking the last 2 and a half years away, and me relying on pure memory, which will further dramatize the stories i got to capture as a 20, 21, and 22 year old. Moving on to 23, I want to set another goal. Attainable, yet will take me all 365 days to get to. As in each day i move 1/365th closer to my goal or .0027% closer to my goal. Last year i didnt get serious about my verticle jump until this year, and i may even do it tomorrow.
Tommorow though, my plan B for taking flight involves going to the airport and heading onto a flight provided by the company. When I land in Cleveland, I find Avis rent a car, and i get a car for the weekend, and head to my hotel. And this is just for me to get familiar with my peers. Not bad. in fact this is incredible for me. I love it. I leave in about 10 hours.
22 today, 23 tommorow, Los Angeles today, somewhere else tommorow. Im overcome with excitement, eased on by stress, riddled with curiosity, broke AF therefore im getting creative as to how im going to make my 2nd to last rent payment. I have a security deposit paid a year and a half ago i need to claim in order to not drown. I barely made it here. I graduated, but still life sends you summer school to simmer the mood. I loveschool learning. But with this backwards thinking, repped by most indian parents of students my age, i wonder how many of yall got your degree, and are about to move away to another city, and live life on your own terms. I wonder how many of yall , are doing what you said you were going to do. I wonder how many of yall are moving away to make, not spend money. I wonder how many of yall moved back home because you wanted to, not because you had to. I wonder how many of yall think your ahead of the game. I wonder how many of yall even wonder your place in this world. I really think about that too much, and as much as i hate comparison, it is done subconsciously. LIke where do I fit on this measuring stick. I wonder how many of yall who reacted to any of this, decided to live this way as a college student itself? I will always be a student, so in my mind, very little has even changed in the last 2 years. Some people celebrated, some didn't, but honestly, i have celebrated so often in the last 5 years for things that prior, diddnt recieve celebration.
Whats 23?
To Gemini, You are so beautiful, and I am so lucky to have you in my life. I will be thinking about you pretty much the whole weekend, my whole birthday and will call you when i come back. This weekend is big for me. Almost overwhelmingly big.
