I wanted to have a countdown. But that's okay, I've been counting the days unofficially anyways. I'm a person that keeps track of my age and for a long time I know that I was young.

Until now, I still get that. At the office, out on the streets, with my older pals... But the question that rises as I approach 23 is if I had used my youth's potential fully. I know that I had an accelerated track to enter the working world. At 22, that seemed to be a pretty early year to start.

Many times it has crossed my mind about what will be that story of my 20s. If my teen years were adventure themed, I would like to theme my 20s as a defining point to whatever my identity will represent for as long as there is breathe in me.

Countless prayers, brain cycles, conversations will take center stage this week as I gear into retrospect. I always do that. I know who I really am. But what is it that will define me.

Tomorrow when I wake up, I will take that first step to knowing.
