12 of May was my 23rd Birthday!
And I feel the same Sveta :)
It's somewhere in between - not 19 or 20 anymore, but not 25 yet. I have the same way of feeling life and believing that so many good parts of my life are still ahead (I'm suspicious I'll have the same attitude in 65 as well :)
It's funny how we anticipate things - when I was a child I was looking at girls graduating high school thinking - one day I'll be an adult as well… When I was 17, I was looking at girls graduating university, thinking - oh they are so much more mature than me… here I am, graduated, passed through all those "becoming an adult" stages, but still don't feel like one :)
(well, we always need to keep a bit of a child in ourselves!)
I did grow up older of course. There were many people I met over last several years, many things I have experienced, liked, didn't, learned - I have changed. I believe I changed very much from what I've been when I was 17, entering the university, with the whole AIESEC life still ahead. And now there is so much of my life is again ahead :)
One good thing I gained over last years - my friends. Of different views, in different countries - and it was so good to hear them on my birthday :) As there are no borders or years between us…
Well, about the birthday - it was in Rotterdam, and started off with a palm tree that my AI guys put on my table as a birthday gift :)
…continued with the best Little Italy pizzas on the roof
…and ended up with me and Masha finishing some wine and talking late till night :)
And here I am, celebrated, happy, anticipate, forever young :)
