I was asleep when it happened. It was something I
knew was going to occur at least I hoped it would. Yet it received
so little fanfare that even I had to remind myself of what I was
supposed to be excited about. When I woke, I was pleased to realize
that my expectation had been fulfilled.
I had turned 22.
In previous years, I would have been so caught up in my own
excitement that I would have had trouble sleeping. This year, I had
trouble staying awake.
That's
because turning 22 does not carry any real significance. Almost all
age-related milestones occur earlier in life. You can drive at 16,
vote at 18 and drink (legally) at 21. But after that?
I
am grateful that I have made it this far. And I hope there will be
many more to come.
22
Things in my year of bieng 22!!
