In about 25 days, I will be celebrating my 21st birthday. Di ko alam kung maeexcite ba ako o ano, pero sa tingin ko naman, my birthday would turn out just fine. I am really looking forward to the gifts that I would receive. Pero siyempre, hindi lang material gifts ang hangad ko. Marami pa, at hindi human benefactor ang gusto kong magbigay sa'kin ng gift, kundi si God.
Yeah, it may be too much, pero what is wrong about looking forward about God's gift on my birthday? I just hope na I could learn something from what He will give me. Pero ayoko na ring isipin yun at baka maging spoiler pa. So I'll just leave it to Him, about the gift.
The first 2 paragraphs are just "papansin" lines na gusto kong sabihin kasi yun nga, malapit na ang birthday ko. But really, I just want to ask people on what they do when they reach the age of 21. Di ba debut ng mga lalaki yun, kung ang babae sa 18, di ba kami 21? And that is the point here, when guys reach 21, are they really mature enough?
Meron akong isang kaibigan, 21 na siya, pero parang hindi ko alam kung may pagka-immature siya or whatever. Kasi naman meron siyang girlfriend na medyo psycho (wag lang tatamaan, sige ka, guilty ka!) na tipong sobra kung makapagtantrums. Daig pa ang grade 1 kung sumpungin. Parang ngayon, okay tayo, tapos mamaya hindi na. Parang red ngayon, mamaya green na, tapos magagalit kasi naubusan siya ng blue na crayola. Hindi mo talaga mape-predict kung ano ang gusto niya. Which made me wonder, that even after 18, girls can really be immature sometimes, and age really don't dictate maturity.
The same twenty-something girl can marry a decent man her age. She could be responsible and industrious. But then, pwede rin namang mag-isip 15 ang babae kahit 20 na siya. So, really it's just a matter of choice on how you want to act on a certain situation. I know a 17-something girl, that is really serious about her goals in life. I know a 21-something girl, who really doesn't know what friendship is really like. And yes, I know a 20-something girl who would throw away her life for love.
This composition really is presumptuous. Saan ka ba sa kanila? I know many can relate to experience being the best teacher, but really it comes down to rational thinking, not experience. You can be in 5 relationships, but still don't know anything about love or relationships. You have experienced it, but you haven't thought of it. Wag mong sabihing marami ka nang naranasan, dahil kung hindi mo naman pinag-isipan lahat ng naranasan mo, wala rin yan. The experience is good, but the lesson is the most important element of it. Without that, you cannot possibly say that you matured enough.
You don't have to experience "mature things" to be mature. You, for yourself, should decide what is best for you. With full responsibility with your own choices, only you can call yourself mature in handling your life. But with hugging uncertainty with your own decisions, you are just surrendering your life to experience. You should experience life. Don't make experience as life itself.
