42? 42.

Another one around the sun for me.

Though I feel like I am a wise 20-something, but body speaks differently.

Random aches, white facial hair, hairless where there used to be hair, and hairy where there was no hair before.

The ticking of time has made me one year older today.

I am grateful for the life I have lived.

Grateful to have been able to make mistakes and survive.

Grateful to have been able to see those mistakes and how wrong I was.

It took 10 years of living abroad for me to discover my love for my own country, as an example.

I only hope I am able to learn new lessons much quicker, and that the remaining time I have on this earth is so that my family can have good memories of us together.
