Time really runs too fast. Tomorrow, I'll be turning 26 years old, I am no more a young lady but a young adult. This things makes me worry, I feel like I have not achieved anything in my life. Right now, I don't have a job and still single. What else would happen in the next coming year? I don't know, it seems that I don't have clear direction in life. What I am happy for is that I am presently in good health condition. I have cured my allergies this week. I wanted to go out tomorrow alone by myself. I have to think of it. What should I consider for a better future? I need your suggestions. Please share them here. Thank you so much!

At twice your I am still achieving things. I can remember playing with remote control cars even when I was 35. Sometimes we compare ourselves with other to decide whether we have achieved or not. Marriage and employment are just milestones in life and are not achievements. Becoming president is an achievement.

just like josephperera, i still am a kid at heart. i love to play around especially with my dog. i don't feel like acting my age because being too serious might make me feel really old already. it's always better to keep our little kid inside.

happy birthday to you jencai! and i am glad to know that the allergies are already gone. hope you have a good health!
anyway, i am turning 29 already within this year. and even if i don't have a job at the moment, i say i am happy because i have a family who loves me, friends who care for me and a boyfriend who loves me dearly.
as for you, don't be sad. things will come up right in due time. you just have to focus and think of what it is that you really want to do. if you wanna work, start looking for a job you will be really interested in doing. don't think about you being single. one day, true love will find you when you least expect it. and you'll see how happy you will be. just be thankful for a happy family who cares for you and loves you.
take care and have a happy birthday!

Happy b'day dear :)
Well... being 26 for me is a time to be wiser in this life. That's the real preparation before you go 30 :) I think it's the time you try to fulfil your own dream, to reach your targets with somebody you loved. So just make some lists of your dreams, and try to achieve in hard work until 30. So... you can start your life begin 30 (people said life is begin 40, but now... you can start it earlier)

Happy Birthday. You still have time to decide what you want to do with your life. Think about what you want to do and go after it. If it takes more training go ahead and go to school and get it. You are never ever to old for school. You are at the prime of your life and the whole world is at your feet. Don't pay attention to where others are. Different people do things differently. Move at different paces. It doesn't matter that you are still single. The right person will come along and than you will have your soul mate. Look within yourself not out at other people and you can accomplice a lot.

Happy birthday to you dear. Focus on one thing at a time and pursue it; you'll achieve better results than when you jumble a lot of things together, which can even add more stress to your heart that you're happy about now. Don't compare yourself with anyone else cos you're unique and specials and no one can be like you except you. Enjoy your day, girl!

In the first place I must say am glad you said; you are happy, because you're in good health.
You should have it at the back of your mind that God loves you and He'll never abandone you. You should also have it at the back of your mind that when there is life, there is hope for those who are willing to succeed. Develop a positive spirit in you , keep working hard and you'll never remain thesame. Don't be discouraged and have a nice day. Thanks.

But see there are no bonds of age, country or language in friendship.HAPPY BIRTHDAY ONCE AGAIN, HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!!!

It is a pity that i can hear that from you,what i will just tell you is that do not look at your age as barrier,i will tell you that you need to be optimistic and grateful to God and in a short while all shall be a testimony.

happy birthday pal... I do feel what you feel as i also have the same feeling when i turn 27 last year and now 28 this coming August. It seem like the days is going so fast but still i havent achieve anything yet that could make me proud of. I still feel emptiness deep inside and like you seems like no direction in life but lately im doing a self reflection and self searching. i hope i can find it before i reach my 28th birthday. You can also do that. Good luck to us. Happy birthday again.

Happy Birthday! at 26 your still very young. you still has lot of things to accomplish. when i was your age i already have a month old baby boy. i marry young then i always thought that i cannot build a carreer then becuase i will be tied up of raising my son but i am wrong. now, i already build a career and right now starting my own business. ages is not a measure of your accomplishement. success and opportunity always come along with anybody of us regardless of our age but it depends on us on how to make things happen. your still young go on you have the whole world to conquer.
