My Quarter-Life Crisis in a Song

Priscilla Ahn - Dream

I was a little girl alone in my little world
Who dreamed of a little home for me
I played pretend between the trees
And fed my houseguests bark and leaves
And laughed in my pretty bed of green

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing
I had a dream

Long walks in the dark
Through woods grown behind the park
I asked God who I'm supposed to be
The stars smiled down at me
God answered in silent reverie
I said a prayer and fell asleep

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree
I had a dream

(8x)
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Now I'm old and feeling grey
I don't know what's left to say
About this life I'm willing to leave
I lived it full and I lived it well
As many tales I lived to tell

I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now
To fly from the highest wing

I had a dream

A Post from the Future

"No, I'm single," I heard my 32-year old self say.
"Why?" is an automatic follow up question.

It's a broken record and even if I put you on mute and look away I'd still make out the pity in your voice and the unmistakable curiosity in your eyes. It's not that you're predictable, it's just that over the years, this conversation has become more or less generic. I know exactly how it goes.

You'd wait impatiently for an answer. I would pull out my sincerest smile and shrug an "I don't know, must be unlucky". You will disapprovingly shake your head and say, "That's not an answer". In my head I punched you in the face. I'd look at you, still smiling, and you, completely unaware of the discomfort you're causing, still get to wait for a reply. I'll try to come up with a less vague answer and this time say "I had a few roadblocks relationships in the past but you know if it's not meant to be, it's not". For a second there, you'll accept it as an explanation, but then your ever scrutinizing self won't yield and so in all kindness you say "Maybe you should give it a try, expand your circles, take a chance."

Between the likes of you and the ringless finger in my hand, it's become clear that my social status will not let me get away without much of an explanation. I know you mean well by asking. And your good-natured advices, I took them to heart. I just don't know how else I can tell you it's just how things have been and it's nobody's fault.

I'm skipping this part.

The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the right companion. Remember that a successful relationship depends on two things:
First, finding the right person,
& second,
being the right person.

17 to 23

People naturally write when they are overwhelmed - - - and birthdays are, without question, one of those things that can easily overwhelm - - - they create the red kind of happiness, the feeling when the world notices you and 'you're the center of your universe' isn't just a line. You wake up to warm greetings and thoughtful gifts, and for a certain moment it feels like Christmas, only in a different month.

I didn't have a happy birthday. I had a happy birth-week. :)
And I'm letting my multiply pictures do most of the telling this time (you need to be my contact to see!).

Thank you to everyone who celebrated my 25th! High School friends, College friends, Friends overseas who remembered (naks), FACA, Karen, Ate Aisha, dotPH, my 4dapat - Br, Clar, Ben, Prox, Vim & the 3baldboys - denni, oti & jp; Anne's SGV friends; Ma & Pa, the whole family, and my twin sis who gave me the coolest gift ever. Salamat ha! :)

There wasn't an MBP to celebrate what is now my quarter-life but surprisingly I didn't mind. And if I still have to explain why then you must have not seen the smile in my eyes.

=)
