Me @ 23

How time flies when you are having fun. It’s been 23 years already. 23 years of existence, 23 years of blessings!  Yes, I am now 23 years old. And as I celebrate this momentous event in life, I am also in deep thought of what I had become so far. Who is Dax at age 23?

I am now enjoying a broader horizon – a better understanding of life and its realities. This is the time of my life wherein I am continuously applying the things that I've learned from the people around me and the various institutions that I've been to. In my 2 years of exposure on the outside world, I had memorable experiences, realizations that made me ponder, and time for me to dream of my future.

I am also on a period wherein I am trying to put a certain game plan in my life. For the 2 past years, it seems that everything was not in place. I was in a continuous search for a greener pasture wherein I can be fruitful. This search was difficult, I admit, because I don’t have contentment. I have this tendency to look and crave for more. But I've realized that my craving to have more only reinforces my disappointments in life -- as the popular saying goes “you can’t have it all.”

There is a need for me to stop, think, and ask myself.. “Where am I going?” I need to decide now. I am not getting any younger. I need to design myself in such a way that I know and I like what I am doing. I should have a clear vision of what I want to be in the future. As of the moment, everything is still unclear.But I believe that with the help of God, I can find my way…

Its been five years since you post this.. and maybe you didnt visit your account for a quite long time.. but I just wanna ask what happen to your life right now? they enjoy it or are you not contented by it and still wanna achieve so much more from it..

      Hi Jenelyn, thanks for appreciating my blog entries!I was compelled to visit this blog again because of your comments. :) Yeah, it has been 5 year since I wrote this one -- I am 27 now turning 28 actually. Hahaha. Marami nang nangyari. Currently, I am a public school teacher -- Senior High School. I decided to go to the public sector kasi I was challenged by the fact na dito daw masusubok ang teaching profession mo -- at feeling ko tama sila. Sinubok talaga ako, at patuloy na sinusubukan. Pero at the end of the day, masaya ako kasi may sense of fulfillment lalo na when your students appreciate you. :)

      Pero alam mo, I thought being with the public and having a permanent position that gives me stability will, at least, give me inner peace -- I was wrong. I realized that I'm still in a journey -- and in this journey I am full of hope that this journey will unravel the beauty of my chosen profession even more.

      Hope you'll find your happiness too -- wherein you feel a sense of fulfillment in your chosen path.

      Best regards!
      Dax Gaffud
