who am i?
im a quarter of a century old in a few days. wow. i have a lot of stuff going through my head about how my life is, am i doing good? did i do enough good things for other people? did i do my family good? did i finally forgive and forget people and things they've done to me? i've been assessing what have become of my life, where i've been, what i've done, what i've learned and looking back i don't see myself doing anything significant. really, i think im one of those "forgettable" people. people you say "what's her name again?" to. im one of those. jeez, and i've always dreamt about being a person people will never forget. i've dreamt about doing something memorable, something worth writing in books or a news article even. i havent even saved a life.
*sigh* let's go over my checklist.
see, i do have a handful of people that never forget. i am very thankful for them. at least, in a way, i've touched their lives so significantly that they havent forgotten about me. so that's one off my checklist, be someone to some people. i've also loved people with my whole heart. another check there, love with everything you've got. and i've been dumped too (although thats not on my checklist) and moved on. see moving on is a test of strength. a test of faith. a test of maturity. so one more ticked off, be more mature. im doing pretty good eh? so here i am, self sufficient in a way, independent and not depending on my mom and dad all the time (there are a few exceptions;)) so one more, move out and live on own means.
well, come to think of it, im doing pretty well. it's just that i don't feel significant. i don't feel like im making a difference in the world (c'mon friends, this is the time to intercept, no ira you're wrong, you're wonderful.. yada yada yada). i'm so insignificant that people who meant something to me before forget about me. they just simply forget. how could you forget someone you felt intense feelings for? oh no, this is turning into another why-God-why-him? post. but really. it's not just him, it's old friends, old acquaintances, old family even. well, i have to admit i am guilty of sometimes "fogetting" but i promise, i'm changing my ways now.
so there. the life of an insignificant dot in the universe. i just hope the next 25 years will be different.

You only need to be significant to a few people. that's what I do, and that's good enough for me since all I need to do is make sure I have enough quality time for this much people.
It's stress free!
A lot of you guys in my roll are turning a year older. Wow, and you all needed to mention that? HAR, cheers!
Still 25! :)
Muah!
I agree with momel. You need not be someone to the entire world. You just need to be the world for some people. ANd from what you've said, I think you've achieved that.
Like in my last post, we have inspired a number of people without even knowing it. You have surely inspied a number of people and you have truly made your mark, Ira.
And here's something to think about, my friend told me this: sometimes, some people come into our lives to make it better only to leave and never come back. But we never forget them because they've helped us become who we are now. And they will always have a space in our hearts and a corner in our memory.
You, my friend, have gathered enough space and corners in different people to fill up an entire city.
*hugs

the next 25 years will be different
