Twenty fifteen. Wow. Another new year has sprung upon us in a blink. Slowly creeping, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.
It feels like only yesterday that we hit the millennium, the year two thousand, celebrating my sixth birthday. Damn, time really does fly. Here we are, fifteen years on, celebrating my twenty first birthday in the next few months. From a young boy, I grew into the man I am today.
Time really is a precious thing, something that is priceless. So why do we take advantage of it and waste many hours of the day pondering over things that have happened or are going to happen? We should be spending every minute loving and really living. Living as if you’re living your last day, as common as that sounds.
If I die tomorrow, next week or next year, I want to be able to die happy. Saying, I really lived an enjoyable life and really made the most of it. Death is a grim topic, but it is something that comes across our minds time to time.
I love to travel and see new places. The past few years have been travel-free due to important exams but I do not want to find myself living in regret, not taking advantage of my youth. Let twenty fifteen be the year of travel for me.
This year, I am embarking on becoming a real adult in every country and continent around the world, I am taking on a challenge of completing 21 wishes before my twenty first birthday on 8th March.
#2 Crash a party
#5 Stargaze
#7 Travel in a limo
#10 Visit a new city in the UK
#12 Learn to use chopsticks
#13 Have a spa day
#15 Run through Hyde Park
#17 Attend a movie premier
#20 Meet a celebrity
#21 Go camping
Let’s see how many of these I can accomplish. I will take a picture of evidence for each of the wishes I complete and will review how many I completed on my 21st birthday.
I need all your help. So together, let’s complete my 21 wishes before my 21st birthday!
