I turned 34 recently and without too much doubt, it was one of my best birthdays. The fact that I can’t recall anything significant in the past 10 years would be adequate in that line of reasoning. Even the celebration itself was pleasantly excellent and different from the previous years. A homemade double layer cake with 3 kids singing happy birthday to me was simply charming. Later in the night, my lover and I thoroughly enjoyed a bit of recreational substance to insure an unforgettable night. As wonderful as all the day’s activities has been, I think the most significant part of it was the context of my rebirth. With her in my life now, things have transformed so significantly that there isn’t a basis comparison. With so many more possibilities the question, again, becomes a matter of priority. To some regard, the playing field is more level for me. Before I had wholesale discounted my personal life for the sake for the work but now, I no longer can (nor do I want to) forsake my personal life. Ironically, productivity may even increase. Undoubtedly, I feel like my productivity had hit a threshold of diminishing returns in the past years. Alternatively, I may have been doing more work but less important work because I had more time. Anyway, I tend to view whatever life circumstances I am presently in the best possible light and appropriate for me. Luckily this is being labeled as random thoughts because that’s the only kind of thoughts I have these days. So I will have two new concepts to be fanatical about this year, her and my mac book pro.
