sounds so familiar ;)

 The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
 

25

So, here it came - my 25th birthday... wow.. 25.. When I was 16, 25 year olds seemed "old boring adults" to me, but I feel like I'm no more than 20.. what is age anyways? I wouldn't exchange the experience I had for anything, but I'm definately not going to put myself on the same list with these boring people saying you have to be serious and live a normal "right" life... well I'm also not going to say they are wrong, it's just their choice. There are some things I'd have changed in the past if I knew then what I know now, but...
so I was hoping to make some conclusions I have come to during my first 1/4 of century here, let's try.
1. Children can be very evil and generate some inferiority complexes in you which, if you are lucky will disappear with time;
2. Parents ALWAYS want the best for their children, even if children don't agree first;
3. It's so easy to break something, but it's so damn hard to put it all back together when you realize what you've done;
4. The world is what you think about it;
5. There is something good in EVERY person if you can discover it;
6. When you are positive, you see a lot more positive things going on around you;
7. It's very easy to live "here and now" when you are happy, and it's sooo hard when nothing goes right, so you escape to the past or dream about the future;
8. It takes much courage to forgive and let go;
9. It's hard to keep caring so much about someone who doesn't see it and not be able to do anything about it;
10. It's really frustrating to get disappointed in someone you put a lot of trust to;
11. It's kind of fun to challenge yourself and do something you were afraid of doing;
12. The best advice-giver you can find is probably your intuition and your own heart, just learn to listen to it and trust it;
13. It's hard and discouraging when you don't get what you want, but be patient and you might get something much better later (still learning this one myself ;));

I could continue the list, but will stop for now ;)

oh and my favourite one:

DARE TO DREAM, BECAUSE ANYTHING... ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN
