Today I start a new phase in my life, I'm 30 now. During the past few days, I didn't have much sleep and actually took a couple of days off because I was really worried about becoming 30. I wanted to enjoy my last days as 20 something before this day comes.
I started going out to visit all the pubs I knew in Brisbane, partying all night long as I did a long time ago, but today I figured out that I didn't need all this, as it turned out to be a normal birthday. I woke up today and looked in the mirror to see the same old guy I used to see for ages. I didn't look older, I didn't look different and definitely didn't look desperate. In fact I saw the same flame of hope in my eyes, the same happiness to wake up everyday and discover what fate has got for me everyday, I can't wait till Monday to go back to work and start another day at work.
Did I look older this morning? If I compare the image to any of my old photos, I'd say yes but deep inside I still feel as young as the 18 years old me. I'm 30 now but my mind has changed accordingly, I'm still looking for the future, still got unfinished business on earth that I still need to work hard to accomplish. In fact being 30 motivated me to give more as I realized now that life is really too short.
It seems like yesterday when I was 10 and imagining my self as 20 years old guy, imagining how will I look like, what will I be doing, where I'm gonna be at that time. Now 20 is history, but I still wait for tomorrow like the 10 years old that I used to be.
I'd like to thank every one who called me, SMS'd, e-mailed, or wrote on my wall on face book, most of them are 30 or older, and I still know that nothing has changed about them now that they're 30.
A special thanks for my friend Mohaly who always keeps my mind busy trying to comment on his cheeky posts.(I checked your blog first before I wrote this, thank you for the post).
Another special thanks to my old friend Fubar(the original Egyptian), I almost lost hope that anyone other than me, you, and Mohaly will ever read the blog.
See you all guys next X-mas.
