		<description>I guess you don&#039;t need an answer. There is no other way for what you have lived already. What was possible is what you did. The only we can do is to create us more chances of a better life to choose from.

Good luck in the 75 you have left ;) Being optimistic that 25 is a quarter, for me 25 is 95% !

		<description>wt? u&#039;re 25? u sound much moremature! 

reaching 25 was hard for me ( this was july last year) i thought birthdays only changes numbers we  write on official forms, but on 25 it hit me that age is not just a number increase. It’s a loaded package of experiences, it’s when u hv 2 make responsible choices……….. so i got overwhelmed by all that and went to get myself a ridiculously expensive watch, and since i don’t like watches and i never buy stuff i don’t need, i figured the 25 years of my life are not gonna be any easier!

NASIM, Enjoy this number it&#039;s the greatest year u get to live! so live it to the fullest. but dnt buy expensive gifts u&#039;ll regret after wards!</description>

		<description>:D

I&#039;m digging in my brain for some deep words of wisdom since I&#039;m three months ahead of you and been contemplating this 25 business for some time (not really)... but as you will tell after reading these lines, I couldn&#039;t come up with anything :) I&#039;m just too wise to put it into words.

Quoting Ramsey: You&#039;re a Rock Star :)


... and, drum roll, the words we can&#039;t escape... Happy Birthday!!</description>

		<description>Happy 1/4 Century! Just think, only 15 years and life truly begins.

Verdictless life? I would say if you took a poll, most of your readers would have no problem with a highly positive verdict. But that is one of the great things about you Nas, you seem to compete with what you know you could be capable of, not others expectations. May you know God&#039;s pleasure with the fact you continually ask the question: &quot;Am I doing it right?&quot;</description>
