The Ws and Hs

And so it has come. And so I’ve arrived here….

20 years of heart beats after….

I’m halfway around the world away from my birth place.

I will not be a teen-age anymore in a short time. Or, in fact, I already am not if counted by my birthplace’s timezone.

20 years is a long journey. I’ve discovered many new places. I’ve met lots of unique people. I’ve hated some, but loved most. I’ve accomplished some goals, and failed a handful. And I’ve survived the ups and downs.

But 20 years is less than a blink of an eye for the universe. Merely a quarter of my grandmother’s life.

But I thank God for these 20 years. Thank Him for who and what I am now. Thank God for the 20 years of breath, 20 years of love, 20 years of journey of life.

And most importantly, thank Him for giving me companions: my family, my friends, my teachers, my rivals, my enemies, my coworkers, my classmates, and everyone else who I know and don’t know. For without even one of them, I might not even be here.

Thank you, God, for this 20 years of Weepings and Happiness.
