22 Project



I just found this iPad application named "0 to 100 Project". It's basically a photography project, capturing the faces of 0 to 100-year-old people. They also inserted numbers of short videos of what they think about being in that age, what's the best and worst things.

Children with their big eyes. Teenagers with naivety. Twenties and all the confusion. To amazingly graceful a hundred years old lady.

Seriously. This application is superbly beautiful. So much special it even brought me back in front of computer and write it on my blog.

I know I cry on many things. Films, books, news, articles and this project. It's just so much emotion radiated from the pictures and videos and even quotes. And you can see that the purpose of life itself is actually to live and make every second counts.

When we were children we were totally in this moment and we think big, think of being a princess. Or a rock star. Or a princess rock star. Then now when I'm in my twenties, I feel like I still have a lot of times. That the moment will eventually come for me to do big things. That it's okay now for me to make a few dozen mistakes more. But it's not.


Sadly, I realize being older means more responsibilities. When you are a kid you still have to go with your parents' rules. Now little by little you take over control of your own life. And more freedom means, well you know, more responsibilities. Gone was the day when you could screw things up and got away with that. Getting older means Mommy and Daddy won't have your back when you spend too much money on a pair of shoes. And people will eventually get bored with your constant flings and anti-relationship state of mind.

And hard work and sacrifices are probably worth it. Because I know when I'm, if ever, in my a hundred years old birthday, I will be very much content to know I've lived a pretty good life. That I did not make too many embarrassing mistakes. That I've lived everyday being simply happy.

I don't want to do things that make me feel free today and wake up tomorrow feeling bad about myself. So my 22-Project this year is to wake up everyday happy because I'm doing the right things rightly.

I'll start with exercising. Promise.
