There was once a time when I believed that I would never grow old. I actually thought I would be 16 forever and when that did not work out I imagined I could freeze growing just before my 30th birthday. I believed that growing up would be the most detrimental occurrence and that there is no fun in being an adult.
Well I was wrong! Not only about freezing the growth process but about the fun aspect of being an adult. As I approach my 31st birthday I realise that just like growing each year, there are some thing in life we absolutely have no control over and that's OK. I now think of the havoc it would be had I been able to control some of the things I had thought had gone wrong in my life. I am grateful of some if the NOs I received on my growth path, looking back I now see what they prevented. I have also learnt that it's okay to be an underdog that God sides with them and makes up the uncool childhood twofold by never ending blessings later on. And that just when you think the hurtful moment you are in right now is probably the worst thing you have ever felt, he proves you dead wrong.
Growing up is so much fun! I am more realistic, more in tune with my body more vibrant and though I keep less friends around me I receive more friendship than I ever thought possible. The single friends around me are also amazingly fun, and more confident. They are giving guys a run for their money; driving the latest cars, they are building and owning their first homes being responsible for bond repayments and yet going out for fun more often. Some are dating more men (all at the same time) and having free no holds bar protected sex. Though multiple partners is an obvious no no there is something very formal and principled in the way they do it. They call it searching for Mr. Right, giving it a trial run...
What I am getting at is GROW you will see just how much better life gets the older you go. There are limitless opportunities awaiting you. I am looking forward to growing some more!
