Young Old Reflections

So much change going on right now.......

My life is experiencing massive shifts on multiple levels. Academically, spiritually, and church settings.

These days, I don't fully know why... but I find myself reflecting a lot like an old man on life timeline flashbacks about my life from highschool to last year. All the chapters of my life. I also reflect on how short life is, and how life is going to end really soon (in the grand scheme of things). I'm only 28 (turning 29 really soon). I don't regret doing so, and I think it adds wisdom to one's life, but I find it kind of strange that I'm inclined to do this naturally more. This is not because I'm trying to develop a good habit or discipline. It just naturally comes these days...

I mean... it seems that seasons of life change so quickly. Even from a social standpoint, the "social wallpaper" of one's social life seems to keep shifting after every year or so, even if one stays in the same city.

And... if one pays attention to one's spiritual journey regularly... it's noticeable how each season is different from the previous one... sort of like seasons for TV shows....

I'm not complaining. I'm just observing. And silently astonished.
