It's My Birthday
13 years ago
Today is my 20th birthday, time to reflect:
The past 20 years have produced a tiny, intelligent boy with an introverted, cynical attitude. I’ve had a very nice childhood: loving family, no major hardships, good school, etc. I’ve only had a couple of friends, but they’ve been good friends, and for the most part I’ve kept in touch. Only had a few love interests, and have only gotten to the level of ‘friend’ in the latest one. I’ve always done extremely well in academia, though my twin brother would win in a contest.
Still doing well in college. Only one A- (in drawing), the rest were A’s. Recently my dad was diagnosed with bile duct cancer. This doesn’t scare me as much as my mom having gone on antidepressants. But we have an excellent team of doctors treating him, so it should work out. With all the recent shootings (movie theaters, schools, kindergartens, on firemen and police, etc), I’m forced to ask, Was it this bad twenty years ago?
I am hoping the next twenty years brings my own little slice of the American Dream: a loving wife, perhaps a few kidlets, a safe home, a secure job (as a small animal veterinarian). Not sure how likely this is with how wobbly times are, but a man can dream.
New Year's resolution for this year is to get better at letting go of negative emotions
Happy new year! Hope 2013 is good to all of you
