happy 25th birthday

Just turned 25 yesterday and on my 25th birthday I wanted to make a list of the things that I'm thankful for, the things that I've achieved, things that I've learned, things that I have to remind my self, and dreams that may or may not come true.

At 25 I am thankful for..

...waking up on my 25th birthday
...having a good paying job
...having my 3 y/o phone get fixed
...good health
...good old and new friends
...all the greetings, unexpected and expected
...having a family that I may not usually get long with but will surely not trade for any other family
...being able to travel and see all the beautiful places I've been to
...all the blessing that I have that I don't notice or tend to neglect

At 25 I was able to..

...loose 21 lbs
...start a healthy and semi active lifestyle
...run a 10k marathon
...play ultimate frisbee
...control and learned to guard my feelings

At 25 I have learned that..

...it is never helpful to be assuming
...you cannot have eveything that you want, if you do, where would you put them?
...motivation should come from oneself
...family will always be your fall back
...sometimes it's better to be friends
...we should always KISS (KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID!)

At 25 I should remind myself to..

...save save save
...always remember that life is not fair but it is good
...pray
...have faith
...smile
...be patient
...love

At 25 I still dream to..

...become a mermaid so I can live under the sea
...become an athlete
...live in Tibet or Japan
...become a singer
...go to Macchu Picchu in Peru
