20

I look back and wonder...

"20... Wow... That's... Kinda long - ish..."

What have I achieved?

By the age of 20, Michael Jackson would have been super famous, led most of the most famous songs by his band of brothers, and the brink of starting his most successful album and becoming the King of Pop...

By the age of 20, Albert Einstein would have been in University for nearly 5 years...

By the age of 20, Alexander Graham Bell created a machine, ventriloquist-like, that could say "Mama!"

By the age of 20, Alexander the Great tamed a horse nobody else could and showed the world that he was indeed, great...

By the age of 20, the Wright Brothers created their our newspaper...

By the age of 20, Mahatma Gandhi had gotten married, and was starting to gain favour in the eyes of his people...

So the question is...

What have I achieved?

Looking back, i'm not really sure myself...

But somehow, I know that I have friends who are happy to see me...

I know that I have a family who loves me...

I know that there are people that look up to me...

I know that if I died this day, there would be (I hope) someone who would honestly say "I'll miss you"

I know that things might have been different if I hadn't been born...

Yes, i'm not the most liked person in the world,

but i'm not the most hated either!

I know that a few of my friends would smile if today I appeared suddenly in front of them and say "hello my friend" xD

And I know on top of all...

That I am blessed =)

Because...

I don't need a birthday celebration...

As long as the people around me are happy,

As long as my friends are glad,

As long as my family love me,

And I have a Hope that I cling to...

I think i've enough joy...

Happy birthday to you...

All of you guys, you're the reason i'm me,

20 years after 1990 =)

I Love You =D
