從20歲開始，我每年都會在生日的時候寫一篇網誌，給我自己。
而今天，我已經滿25歲了。即使多麼不想接受這傷心的現實，但這一天還是來了。
今年送給自己的生日禮物，就是把留了快十年的長髮剪短，並捐給Pantene Beautiful Lengths。或許我只是想要做一些改變所以順便捐了頭髮，但是能夠把這樣的一件事當作是給自己的25歲生日也是很不錯的。
當我15歲的時候，我想像中的25歲的自己，應該是個上班族，結了婚並有一個小孩。然而，現在的我並沒有完成任何一項。
我還記得高中時候對朋友們說：「如果我在25歲之前沒有結婚，我就不會結婚了。」
我的父母很年輕就結婚並生下了我，所以他們一直灌輸我早點結婚早點生小孩是比較好的抉擇。由於這樣的觀念影響之下，我默默決定25歲之前要把自己嫁掉。很顯然的，年輕時的想法總是天真的不可置信。
我想這就是人生。我們永遠都猜不到也無法預測自己的未來。
但我很感恩我現在擁有的。即使我是個超齡的大學生，即使我不知道未來要做些甚麼，即使我沒有男朋友，我還是感恩我所擁有的。愛我的家人，愛我的朋友，需要我的人。
雖然對大部份25歲的人而言，我是個起步慢的人，但我有更多的時間去享受這段青春的黃金歲月，放慢腳步去思考我所要的，和真正的認識自己。
我是一個幸運的人。

I’ve been writing “happy birthday” blog since I was 20, to myself.
I’m 25 years old since today. Although I don’t want to accept this sad fact, this day has come anyway.
The birthday gift I give myself this year is to cut my hair that I’ve had for about 10 years and donate it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Maybe I just wanted a makeover, so I donated my hair conveniently. It is still nice to have this special event for my birthday gift.
When I was 15, I imagined that I should have a job, married, and have a child when I’m 25; however, I didn’t accomplish any of them.
I still remember that I told my friends when I was in high school “If I don’t get married before 25, I wouldn’t get married afterward.”
My parents got married when they were relatively young and gave birth to me. They keep giving me the thought of getting married and giving birth at younger ages is a better choice. Because of their influence, I wanted to get married before 25. Apparently, I was way too naive.
I guess it is life. We can never guess or anticipate our future.
I appreciate what I have now. Even though I’m an overage undergraduate student, even though I don’t know what to do in the future, even though I don’t have a boy friend, I’m still very thankful to what I own. I have family who love me, I have friends who love me, and I have people who need me.
Although for most 25-year-old people, I’m such a slowpoke, I have more time to enjoy this young and golden period, I can slow down and consider what I really want, and I can know myself better.
I’m a lucky girl.
