Happy birthday to me.. now what?

So I just turned 20 ten minutes ago, and I happened to be here as it happened. It made me think..

I'm Canadian. Where I'm from, everything is "unlocked" at 19. So what else is there? I mean, I'm over 19 now.

I could vote, drink, watch porn, do whatever I want within the confines of the law last year.

But now I have no age goals to look forward to in my own country..

Next goal? Fully legal in the states..?? but after-that..? I mean, that's only a year away!

Has anyone else every felt this pang of emptiness when you realized you're not a teenager any-more, and you're pretty much open and on your own?

Thank you for the kind words Indigo!

I have also noticed that I am picking up on the more subtle things.. but I also find I'm not remembering as much as I did 3 years ago! Uh-oh!

Nothing to be tearing up about at 29 and almost 30 though; you can expect at the least another 30 years of fun and enjoyment! :D

I have to admit; it will be nice to finally lose the "teenager stigma" that seems to be abundant!

There is nothing new. There's just the same old same, dressed up a little different to keep the simple masses entertained for a brief moment.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

Peace.

I wish I was this well set right now! I still have a year to do it all I guess! ;)

If you really really want something you will find a way to do it.

That includes stopping bad things as well.

Life isn't a destination. It's a journey.
Everyday is an opportunity to learn something new, experience something new, do something different...etc.
Some days are good, some days rather suck, but each one contributes to the adventure. Just enjoy the ride.
