Other highlights from my 20s


Moved to a foreign country and regain me again

Lost 15 kilograms in weight

Worked hard up the corporate/public/private ladder to be in a well-paid, secured, and highly respected position

Bought my first home at 29 years of age

Surrounded by wonderful family and friends

Have a niece

Welcomed new friends into my life

Other low lights from my 20s

Lost an old friend

Said goodbye to old friends


Now this isn't in no shape or form to take a dig at anyone but I had to do this list.

It is a reminder to me of what I have done in my twenties and that while I might have bad days, weeks or months, I can remind myself that I have lived a wonderful life. On my terms. I think I forget sometimes that I have travelled far and wide (and the list continues to grow by the day), and that I am surrounded by wonderful family and friends who love me.

Tonight, I actually needed to remind myself of this because sometimes when I am having a really bad, I forget what I have done and where I am going.

And that today might be just a shitty day or a week, or a month, but I know where I am going.
