22

22, it seems so close and so far that it just slips away from me so I am officially 22 now. An interesting picture is now happening in front of me: Pooh is sleeping on the right hand side, Charlie is lying on the bed with his typical 'man's gesture', Henry is hea-ing and surfing on his phone next to Charlie with his facial-less face while Adrian is working on the sofa bench with me. This picture is funny enough to note it down because it's causal and realistic. We are all human like we got work to finish, we chill and we sleep. We are special but at the same time we got many similarities in life. Learn to appreciate, keep on figuring out the pretty weird face and expression of different people. These bring life a little smile unexpectedly.

This should be the most chill and aimless birthday I have ever had. No burden when travelling with the men and no surprises at the same time. However, this doesn't mean much to me cos from time to time, birthday becomes just a day. Nothing fancy makes life real and much easy to appreciate. We have spent the whole morning travelling from Corfu to Albania. Tho dissertation does pop up in my head from time to time, I am trying my best to enjoy the trip without worrying too much. However, my planning habit just can't stop as I have a responsibility that has not yet accomplished.

However, there are a few questions that I would like to ask myself to make this 'birthday' a little bit meaningful. Hahah yea, you know what I mean. The society just frames that birthday should be unforgettable or at least a little special which included quality talk or deep sharing. However, I haven't really figured out what I want on my birthday to add a little more happiness on my day. What kind of tradition I would like to keep or add on my birthday in order to make myself to feel satisfied? What is simple happiness to me? It's like 'I don't want to celebrate birthday' or it's just I haven't found my way to celebrate my birthday?

Besides, I would like to set 1 to 2 goals for myself in the coming year. I would like to build a few habits to consolidate my life. First thing first, I have to catch up with my dissertation schedule as it's quite behind.
