Happy Birthday

Just another ordinary day.

I'm now two decades old. My mom had me when she was around this age. Now I know what she felt like when she had me-- being still so naive about the world and yet slightly hardened against its sufferings.

Now I understand the pressure my father probably felt as he entered manhood and had to find a way to earn a living.

Now I see how one can feel so young, so old, so happy and so sad--- all at once.

Goodbye teenage years.

Why do I feel so sad all of a sudden?
