Turning 20

Yesterday (12 Dec) I turned 20.

Yes, I am not a teenager anymore, so I guess it's time to stop being bratty? Probably not. Some people are ageless. 

Saying that, I would miss the advantages of being a teenager. I feel like it's easier to get things done when you are 19. 20 feels boring. I'll work on changing that. 

There is another event taking place at my house, a very important one and I feel deprived of attention I usually get. But of course, I can't always be in limelight. I am not Micheal Jackson. 

I told my family to not give me any gifts and donate the money towards charity. Obviously that did not work, I still got gifts. I realized even though I have become less 'materialistic' over the time, or just that my priorities are not my barbie dolls anymore, my parents have not grasped that idea yet. Not that they are materialistic, they are used to spoiling me. 

I have all that I need. If I needed more, I'll simply ask. 

The thing is, I am picky. If I don't like a gift, then I don't want it. I know! ' a gift is a gift' blah blah.  But I don't want it. That should count as something. 

And that's why I feel it's much better to invest that money for the good. It would have made someone very happy, could have changed someone's life. 

I told my mother, if you want me to do something for my happiness, join in my purpose. Help me spread some light and love around. I think she got it. 

Obviously, everyday should be so. But birthday's are just special, aren't they?
