Why is that so?
Well, tomorrow is mah birthday, and I’ll be turning 18…
Will that make a difference on me?! I guess so, for 18 is now considered as a legal age.. Which means, there is no more excuses if I happen to break a law. I’m not a minor anymore by tomorrow. Thus it mean I should jaywalk or vandalize or throw a softdrink can on the overpass?? Is it necessary to fool around for the last time? Well, I can still do that if I want but the problem is I don’t want to. I am now excused for Child Abuse and Corrupting Minors law, which means if it happens to me (starting tomorrow), it will not be called as it thus so, it will be called as Physical Injury or Harassment…. But why am I think’n about those things…. Those were just drawbacks of what we call “growing old”…and besides, it wont happen (what a morbid mind?).
Besides being an adult will give me more privileges (and incentives maybe)… starting tomorrow, I can go watching restricted films. I can now enter the movie house without the feeling of nervousness when I’ll submit my ticket to the guard. I can fight the fact that I am no minor (even though I look a little more younger)!! Hahah!! Just joking around… well, for sure it won’t be a porn film that I’ll be watching, R18 maybe for some scenes may have some sort of brutality, domestic violence, disturbing or a little of sexuality which may look a little more vulgar (why am I thnk’n so morbid)..
What the.. I was supposed to talk about my life starting tomorrow, not the restricted film that I’ll be watching!!
What else? Uhm, starting tomorrow, I can start drinking R.H. (Red Horse beer) and do some night parties LEGALLY… theirs no problem anymore, I exempt myself to the Curfew Law here… hey, I am now 18…
But is that what it really means to become an adult? I guess its not… it means that after tonight, when I woke up in bed, I’ll be obliged to be more responsible. Turning 18 is not about partying, R18s and drinking alcohols (well, I drink alcohol and go night outs since then), it’s about knowing yourself more, discovering your potentials. As if the end is finally near.. I will not be this young for long, I guess it is time for me to do more things. Try some new stuffs, take risks for self betterment and do the things which I really wanted to do for a very long time… actually, I started doing that already. I climb a mountain and reach the peak of it… I engaged myself to new groups of people. New breeds actually, to learn how to camouflage with their individuality which is new to me… I learned to accept others personality and accept my own too.. I push my limits to widen my capabilities. I aimed to have more friends, and I deed… and I sincerely keep them… I learned to overcome my weakness, my inner child . I successfully deed it.. now, those inner childishness where just memories, which had hurt me and now, I consider it so special…
Turning 18 drives me to become a more mature individual, but it doesn’t push myself to have it in an instant…
I guess, it is just the point that you will have to say goodbye to the word MINOR, but it doesn’t mean forgetting the real you and try to be somebody else..
Wapi burtday to me!!!
