Transition points of our life

This is my 200th post. It led me to think of life's turning points. Transitions. I chose to put this post in the Philippines category because the turning points in my life are mostly "social-cultural-geographically dependent". Here are my transition points, how about you? 6 years old - I entered elementary; my mind got blown with the adventure of learning 12 years old - I entered high school and the giddy years of adolescence 16 years old - I left my childhood, entered university in Metro Manila; among my major culture shocks: food, I started losing weight 19 years old - I dropped out of college, entered the school of hard knocks, I survived 28 years old - I became an aunt to the most precious, lovable little angel. I went crazy over her! :) She's still my angel. So many more turning points occur in our lives, a lot even sandwiched between those years that I mentioned above...

Shucks, I've been thinking about the changes in my life the past weeks as well and yeah, we all have to go through such transitions whether we like it or we like it! LOL! I've been through so much as well, here's mine: Age 4 - started my education, in the same class with my elder sister Age 8 - been hit by a jeepney and realized the value of life at an early age Age 12 - entered high school and knew how it is to become independent and responsible of one's actions Age 16 - had my first love and first heartbreak and I've comprehend how one thing can be so good yet so bad as well Age 17 - had my first niece and found out how wonderful it is to have a child Age 20 - graduated my 5-year engineering course, with flying colors but realized that being on the top is lonely Age 21 - got married to the wrong man Age 23 - got separated and started to rebuild my broken life, broken hopes and dreams Age 25 - accepted the fact that I can never be happy with a man anymore Age 27 - got myself pregnant (since I wanted a baby so much) and abandoned by my baby's dad (since he doesn't want complications in his life); I realized God still loves me for giving me my own baby who will love me, care for me and stay with me till my old age... Though I'm having so many difficulties right now, the consequences of having my own child, still I love the present transition that I am right now. I'm awaiting my little Nicholas' arrival, I'm so excited! Thanks for sharing this discussion... God bless you always.

Thank you, Maple, for the inspiration! You gave me the goosepimples! God bless you and your new little angel Nicholas! It's true: we go through transitions as you say, "whether we like it or we like it!"
