aging doesn't mean your getting older

Today is probably one of my most self-confusing birthday in my entire life at this moment. I'm grateful to have a lot of friends and love ones who greets me (and counting) and who remembers me on my birthday, but...when I got home, I'm all alone. I'm so happy for being one of the finalists of Cinemalaya as a birthday gift, but it won't be complete until I finish the film. I'm so glad that I got new friends who appreciates me especially on my special day but...My family aren't beside me on this day.

As I age I became more and more tolerant to these kinds of sadness, as I age these sadness just became a viand to my joyous and successful life ahead of me. As I age I realized that you can't have everything that you want because life is meant to be imperfect. Yes, as I age I became more and more human, I became less and less susceptible to pain and disappointments. As I age my judgement broadens, my visions more in-depth. As I age I am slowly realizing the real me.
