It's the Circle of Life

        

                For some, thoughts of the beginning of life is of a magical guy who just waved his wand and POOF humans were created, while others think it began in a massive orgy otherwise known as the BIG BANG, but I pay little attention to the birth of humanity, instead I focus on the birth of myself…Today I set a new benchmark in my life, 22 years of consuming oxygen, water, and cauliflower, aka my birthday. Children cannot comprehend the science behind birth so we tell them the story of the birds and the bees (you know when the birds have sex with the bees…) but you are all hopefully above 9 years old and already know about the whole birth process, so ill skip that. 

***fast-forward to present day

It’s sad to say but that is exactly how it has felt so far, life passes by too fast, it felt like just yesterday I peed in my bed and my mom had to come comfort me, telling me “All kids do it…” oh wait, it might have indeed been yesterday… my point is that time does indeed pass by fast and though we may all know that, we seem to lack appreciation of the present. The last two days were beautiful, and though I would usually sleep in until 12, I decided to wake up nice and early and soak up every second, I rode my bike, I went for a walk, I talked to myself in the mirror, I just enjoyed summer time. And thinking bigger than that, think about one day, when all of us will have families of our own and it’ll be tougher to have a whole day devoted to yourself or enjoying it with your friends. This period of our life will be the guidance we provide to our kids, our nephews, or our extraterrestrial friends, and hopefully you won’t be telling them of stories where you’d be playing on your computer all day, or how cool it was to watch your friend update their status on Facebook, or how cool it was to read your books all day and miss out on the fun yet so gosh darn irresponsible activities you’d watch others do.

                So fellow friends, family, and Asians, remember these years are the greatest years of our lives, and whether you choose to enjoy them with your friends, family, girlfriends, or Asians, be sure to enjoy them, because sooner or later this phase of our life will end and we’ll go on to the next stage and fully enjoy that, but for now enjoy today…
