Past the point of no return

This roller coaster we call life...

I've been very contemplative about the events of today. It's my birthday, and I'm past the point of wanting to get older. I'm not that old, but I wish I could just freeze things where they are and not get any older.

Maybe it's because my mom watched a lot of Oprah while I was growing up. I always wanted to be that kid who was on Oprah for making her first million by age 18. I had high expectations for myself. Have my own business at age 21... The past handful of years I've felt disappointed to get older because I didn't feel like I was where I wanted to be in this point of my life. I wanted to rocket past the playing field, and advance rapidly to become that wonder-kid.

Well, I've arrived. I really have been dreading this birthday, but after pondering it, I have nothing to be upset about. I am that wonder-kid I've been dreaming of.

I recently got a new job. This job is literally everything I wanted. I didn't know what in the world I wanted to be, but I knew that I wanted to be independent, have a flexible schedule, and be someone who makes a huge impact by making things better. Well, that's exactly what I got. 

I've told a few people this. I feel like I'm standing on a launching pad. I have everything I need to sky-rocket. ...and that's exactly what I plan to do. =)

2011 was my year. Make 2012 yours.
