One time, my seatmate asked me how old I am. Of course, I shrugged and answered, "I'm 18." Looking at her shocked face, she hysterically replied, "You're 18? I'm already 21." My close friends also asked the same question, and I responded with the same answer. If I remember correctly, they're already around 19-21 years old, and technically, I'm the youngest in our circle. But now that I'm almost turning 19, what's special?
I'm almost turning 19 and feel grateful for those days as I feel blessed in certain circumstances. Maybe the blessings I've got from all my hard work are not the same as what I had before. However, it doesn't matter since the most important thing is that I still have some blessings. I have two passive incomes, good relations with my family and friends, and many academic achievements. Yes, I guess that's already considered as a blessing.
Maybe I didn't achieve some of the goals I created as a part of my New Year's resolution, but it doesn't matter, as I received a better opportunity than expected. Like before, I never thought I would be the best second-year marketing student on our campus. Maybe I'm not that good or just improving in certain aspects, but I'm still one of the best. And also, I remember that I aimed to be a successful VA. I thought I would not unlock another earning opportunity, but someone approached me to be an affiliate marketer.
Aside from that, one of the lessons I've learned in my 18th year of existence is that not all people are permanent. Most of my tenth-grade friends already forgot about me, but we still have connections. Last February, I was astonished that one of my closest friends (Ate @pachuchay) in Web3 died after battling her rare disease. She passed away after a week of posting on this platform, and she was one of my considered virtual mothers. Even though she was already resting in peace, I would always be grateful as she always helped me withdraw my money when I was underage. During my first anniversary here, I saw my aunt update me when my grandma died.
In conclusion, I've learned that people and opportunity always come and go away. That's the nature of the world, and we should not give a fuck about it. Additionally, through those experiences, I learned that I should know my purpose. I remember a post by Chinkee Tan before that regarding earning money. We always want to try every opportunity that we see. But in reality, it is not sustainable, and the only thing that makes that opportunity bearable is when we finally find our purpose. Luckily, I learned it before I turned 19. My birthday is September 25, lol. Baka naman may magregalo ng iPad sa'kin, chz.
