Suddenly I felt Old

September 3rd was my birthday, out of a sudden I felt old and time is catching up on me. Benjamin my house mate dislike the thought of a young person thinking that he or she is old, but what are my odds of living beyond 50? 60? Coffin is for the dead not the old. With my current health, I doubt I can make it anywhere close to 40.

Isn’t it ironic that when I was younger I am dying to leave school, then when I enter college I was dying to enter University, and then I was dying to finish my studies, probably I am dying to get married and now I am dying – slowly but surely, everyone dies every minute, as we grow we die a little. I guess in order to gain something we need some sacrifices.

I guess life is fair in many ways.

p.s. The sketch above reflect what I am, what I once was – and what I hope to become. There is no certainty only opportunity.
