    Superstitious? Me? Pfft… Unless the Universe is Listening.

    Are you superstitious?

    Am I Superstitious? Let’s Just Say… It’s Complicated.

    This morning, my son and his buddies threw out a dangerous question: “Are you superstitious?”

    Now, logically, I want to say no. I don’t walk around tossing salt over my shoulder or fearing black cats. But if we’re being honest… I also refuse to say things like “Wow, nothing has gone wrong today!” because I know the universe is listening.

    So, am I superstitious? Let’s just say I respect the possibility of unseen forces—but I’m also not afraid to test them.

    Let’s break it down.

    1. The ‘Don’t Jinx It’ Rule (AKA, I’m Not Stupid)

    You ever confidently say something, only for life to immediately slap you in the face?

    🔹 Example: “Ugh, I never get sick.” Boom—suddenly, I’m drowning in tissues and self-pity.
    🔹 Pain Level: 9/10. Because why does the universe have to be so petty?

    ✅ How I Handle It: I knock on wood. Every time. Even if it’s fake. Even if people are watching. If I forget? You best believe I’m mentally whispering “no jinx, no jinx, no jinx” to undo the damage.

    2. The ‘Something Feels Off’ Rule (My Sixth Sense is Real)

    I don’t know if it’s energy, instinct, or just years of experience with people being sketchy, but if something feels wrong, I listen.

    🔹 Example: Walking into a place and feeling an immediate, unexplainable sense of nope.
    🔹 Pain Level: 10/10 if ignored. Because the ONE TIME I brushed it off, I ended up in a situation I never should have been in.

    ✅ How I Handle It: If my gut tells me to leave, I leave. No debating, no justifying. The last thing I need is to become the main character in a bad horror movie.

    3. The ‘Ghosts? Prove Me Wrong’ Rule (I’m Ready for This Fight)

    Unlike most people, I don’t fear ghosts, Ouija boards, or haunted places—I’m fascinated by them. Do I believe in spirits and the paranormal? Not really.

    But am I willing to test it? Hell yes.

    🔹 Example: While some people refuse to step foot in a haunted house, I’m the one saying, “Alright, if something’s here, show yourself.”
    🔹 Pain Level: TBD. But honestly, if a ghost did prove me wrong, I’d be more excited than scared.

    ✅ How I Handle It: If the supernatural wants my attention, it better bring receipts. Until then, I’m keeping my skepticism and my curiosity wide open.

    So, Am I Superstitious?

    Let’s put it this way—I don’t live in fear of bad luck, but I also don’t poke the bear (except when it comes to ghosts, apparently).

    If knocking on wood, trusting my instincts, and challenging the unknown keeps things interesting, then I’m all in.

    Now, tell me—are you superstitious?

    Or are you the type to laugh in the face of fate?

    Drop your thoughts in the comments… but if your luck suddenly changes, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    NSFW Ink Dreams: Where Would You Put Yours?

    What tattoo do you want, and where would you put it?

    Some people want a discreet infinity symbol on their ankle.
    Others want angel wings between their shoulder blades.
    Me?

    I want the Joker and Harley Quinn… tangled in sin… on my inner thigh.

    Yes, you read that right. I already have six tattoos—each one a slice of my story—but this?
    This one’s going to be my masterpiece.

    Why settle for basic when your thighs are prime real estate for chaos, colour, and the promise of a little danger?

    Why the Inner Thigh, though?

    Well, darling, that’s easy.

    It’s hidden… until it’s not.

    It’s intimate. Naughty. A secret meant to be earned.

    And every time I cross my legs or shift in bed, I’ll know there’s a beautiful madness resting just beneath my skin.

    The Joker, smirking with toxic charm.
    Harley, wide-eyed, wild, loyal in all the wrong ways.
    The ultimate ride-or-die pair—etched into my flesh, just inches from all the fun.

    Honestly? If you’re going to mark your body forever, make it interesting.
    Make it tell a story… or whisper one between parted thighs.

    More Tattoos. More Mischief. More Me.

    My body is already a canvas of secrets and symbols.

    Not just to look.
    But to wonder.
    To imagine what else might be hiding underneath the lace and leather.

    So, yes—my Joker and Harley thigh piece is still in the works.
    But the rest of my skin? Hungry. Ready. Waiting for the needle to tell another scandalous tale.

    Chapter 1: The High-Contrast Crisis

    The rain outside didn’t just fall; it “carried on like a pork chop,” hammering against the corrugated iron roof of the studio. Inside, the air smelled of burnt espresso and ozone. Liam, Dax, and Dev—the Three Best Friends—were locked in a battle against a deadline that felt like hard yakka on a Saturday arvo.

    The Philosophy of the Studio

    The trio didn’t just build websites; they built gateways. Their manifesto was simple: Writing for Web Accessibility wasn’t an afterthought—it was the foundation.

    • Liam (The Content King): He believed that for each web page, one must provide a short title that describes the page content and distinguishes it from other pages. He was currently obsessing over the “Space Teddy Inc.” homepage, ensuring the page name came before the organization name.
    • Dax (The Visual Architect): His monitors were filled with color wheels and luminance grids. He knew that foreground text needs to have sufficient contrast with background colors, a rule that applied to buttons and background gradients alike.
    • Dev (The Logic Master): Dev lived in the “code order.” He was currently ensuring that the order of elements in the code matched the logical order of the information presented. He often checked this by removing CSS styling to see if the content still made sense.

    “If we don’t get this right,” Dev muttered, “we’re just pulling a swifty on every user who relies on a screen reader”.

    The Arrival of Elias

    When the thud came at the door, it wasn’t the sound of a visitor; it was the sound of a warning. Elias, a retiree known to the boys as a frequent tester of their designs, stood in the doorway. He was a man who lived with low vision, hand tremors, and mild short-term memory loss.

    “I couldn’t get through the ‘Space Teddy’ checkout,” Elias panted, his voice shaking. “It was the Shadow of the Raven’s Wing. It’s back.”

    Dax went pale. “The Shadow? That’s just a myth developers tell to scare juniors.”

    “It’s no myth,” Elias said, leaning on a desk. “It’s a deliberate design to exclude. It’s when a site uses color alone to convey information, like marking required fields in red without an asterisk”. “But this was worse. It was a shroud.”

    The Mystery of the Raven’s Wing

    The Three Best Friends gathered around Liam’s main terminal. Elias pointed a weathered finger at a specific block of text that seemed to shimmer and fade.

    The Raven’s Wing (Definition): A technique used by rogue developers to create “unnecessarily complex” content that bypasses the need for clear and concise sentences. It creates a “lack of headings,” making the document nearly impossible to edit or navigate for assistive technology.

    “Look at the code,” Dev whispered. His fingers flew across the mechanical keyboard. “They haven’t just ignored the WCAG requirements. They’ve weaponized them. They’re using ambiguous link text like ‘click here’ to lead users into a loop”.

    “And the images,” Dax added, his eyes narrowing. “There’s no meaningful text alternatives. For these informational images, they’ve used empty alt-text as if they were purely decorative”.

    The First Clue: The “Superbear” Anomaly

    As they dug deeper into the “Raven’s” source code, a name popped up that Liam recognized from a recent news article: Superbear.

    “Wait,” Liam said, pulling up a local news site. “I just wrote about this. ‘Superbear saves the day… rescuing a young cat from a tree'”. He looked at the code Dev had unearthed. “The Raven is using the Superbear story as a mask. But look at how they’ve marked it up.”

    Dev pointed to the screen:

    • They used a <h2> for the title “Superbear saves the day”.
    • They included a <time> tag for “7 Aug 2015”.
    • But hidden inside an <aside> was a list of “Related Articles” that didn’t exist in the real world.

    “Fair dinkum,” Liam breathed. “These links… ‘Superbear stands for mayor’. That never happened. They’re using WAI-ARIA roles like role="search" to hide a data-mining script”.

    The Friends’ Vow

    The “Shadow of the Raven’s Wing” wasn’t just a technical glitch; it was a digital wall built to stop people like Lakshmi, the blind accountant, and Ian, the clerk with autism, from accessing the truth.

    “We need to audit this entire city’s infrastructure,” Dax declared. “Starting with the contrast ratios of every government portal”.

    “And I’ll start rewriting the instructions,” Liam said. “No more unnecessarily technical language. We need to describe input requirements, like date formats, so even someone as stressed as Elias can navigate ‘no worries'”.

    “I’ll handle the keyboard accessibility,” Dev added. “I’ll ensure every custom widget, from accordions to buttons, uses tabindex="0" to stay in the navigation order”.

    They looked at each other. The task was heaps big, but they were the best in the business.

    The Audit Checklist

    Before they could head out into the “arvo” to confront the Raven, they had to prep their toolkit.

    ToolPurposeContrast CheckerTo identify “insufficient” contrast that hides text.Screen ReaderTo hear the “info and relationships” hidden in the markup.Responsive DebuggerTo see how the “Raven’s” site adapts to a “narrow mobile phone”.Aussie GritTo ensure they don’t “pull a swifty” on their mission.

    “She’ll be right,” Elias whispered, watching the Three Best Friends work. “As long as you keep the content clear and concise, the shadow can’t win”.

    My First Day Of Locum And As A Medical Officer

    Related Posts:

    A locum or locum tenens, is a person who temporarily fulfils the duties of another; the term is especially used for physicians or clergy.

    – Wikipedia.

    The first time I ever tasted or ventured into locum or a so-called “part-time doctor” was on the 3rd of August 2025.

    At that time, I was back in my hometown and on a 3-weeks-break post housemanship / internship at a small private clinic, yet to officially begin as a Medical Officer.

    While I was in medical school, I would occasionally hear this term “locum” from my fellow seniors or batch mates, lecturers, parents or even friends of my parents. However, in order to locum, one would need to be fully registered with the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) and possess a valid Annual Practicing Certificate (APC). In short, I had to graduate medical school, finish my internship or housemanship first, then only am I able to dive into this.

    Thus, upon acquiring my full MMC and APC licence, I was looking forward to locum. Looking forward to it as well as nervous to dive into this. Thankfully, I had just completed my final rotation in the Emergency and Trauma Department.

    In the Emergency and Trauma Department, there are various zones in which the patients would be triaged into in terms of presenting complaints, severity and their vital signs. The least critical in severity would be triaged into Green zone. The Green zone is similar to a clinic setting, thus, it gave me some idea on the type of cases I would be expecting.

    My first locum was just 3 hours long, from 7pm till 10pm. I figured that since I am just starting at that time, it would be better to start with minimal hours in order to get used to it and also.. if I would enjoy it.

    The clinic was quaint and small but equipped with basic necessities and a scan machine. The only thing that it did not have, was an x-ray facility. The moment I sat down, the patients kept coming back-to-back. As soon as I was done with one, another came.

    For a first-timer, I felt it was equivalent to the Green Zone in General Hospital whereby the cases were always there but the patient load was manageable.

    However, I was extremely scared.

    Mainly afraid that I might accidentally jeopardise the patient’s safety in terms of mismanagement. Thankfully, by 9:30 pm, the clinic assistant stopped accepting new patients and prepared to close the clinic.

    For a first experience, it was a good one despite it being rather terrifying for me.

    But, we all have to start somewhere and build our confidence, don’t we?

    Life After Offtag In Emergency & Trauma | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    The tagging hours in the Department of Emergency & Trauma is from 7am till 10pm, for a total of 10 days and one off day per week. There are no assessments required to off-tag, only hours required to cash in.

    During our tagging season, we were not allocated for night shifts as well.

    For me, tagging in this posting felt like an eternity. I remembered counting down my days before I would finally “offtag” and be switched to regular working hours. I also remembered being extremely exhausted at the end of my shift, wondering how did my fellow colleagues managed to pull through.

    Tagging in this posting as compared to the other postings was considered less stressful as we were not required to arrive early for morning rounds. We merely had to arrive on time and upon the end of our shift, we leave, as compared to other postings where we would stay back almost every time, cash in “unpaid overtimes.”

    Finally after 10 days of tagging, I officially “off-tagged“.

    So how was life after that?

    Much better. Thankfully.

    Regular hours in the Emergency & Trauma Department meant working a 12-hours shift per day with an off day per week and a single night shift.

    Basically, we had to ensure that in total, we had to meet the total 60-hours shift per week.

    Thus are the timings for our respective shifts:

    • AM Shift: 7am – 7pm
    • PM Shift: 10am – 10pm
    • Night Shift: 10pm – 10am

    If you have read my articles on “The Joy Of Working The Night Shift As A House Officer” as well as “My Favourite Time Of The Day At Work“, I mentioned that I absolutely love the night shift. The disadvantage of working the night shift is that we are usually alone and the night shift can be rather unpredictable.

    However, it is not the same for me in this posting. Out of the shifts listed above, my favourite is the AM shift, 7am till 7pm. Initially, getting up for work at 7am is tough especially after working the PM shifts back-to-back. But after the initial morning sleepiness wears off, the day proceeds as usual and we return home at 7pm which is nice.

    Life after offtag in this department ensured that I had adequate rest prior to my shift starting. No doubt, it is a 12-hours shift every time, we usually arrive and leave work on time as compared to other postings.

    Nonetheless, I was still exhausted after every shift. Perhaps it was due to the accumulated mental and physical stress throughout the previous five postings that when I am finally blessed with extra rest, I am still tired.

    If you are still in the tagging phase, be it in this department or others, please stay strong. Remember that it doesn’t last forever, it is merely over a certain span of days or weeks.

    Keep showing up, keep doing the good work to the best of your strength and abilities and keep moving forward.

    Preparing For My Exit From The Medical Posting As A House Officer | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    Medical. My Fifth rotation.

    While I was in Medical School, my favourite rotation was the Medical Posting and I’ve always imagined myself being a Medical Officer in Medical.

    Thus, upon entering my Housemanship Journey, I did not choose to rotate in Medical as my first posting. Many people said that the Medical Posting is the most difficult posting of all the postings due to the patient load as well as the workload.

    Thus, I began in Orthopaedics and placed Medical as my Fifth Posting. Mainly, because I wanted to “enjoy” it. Enjoy it in the sense that I already knew the basics and knew how to function as a House Officer and would be able to learn how to manage the patients.

    However, albeit being a senior poster, some old habits retain. In the Medical posting, we were required to hand in our logbooks 2 weeks prior our End of Posting Date.

    However, I approached my mentor 5 weeks prior my exit. Unfortunately, my assigned mentor at that time was not available and asked me to approach my Specialist-in-charge of House Officers at that time to request for a new Mentor.

    I approached the Specialist-in-charge and was assigned a new mentor which happened to be someone I worked with multiple times while I was in Medical 3.

    The following week was a rather tensed week for me as I tried my best to cram as much as I could.

    I finally had my assessment with my first mentor who is a Medical Officer that Sunday. Thankfully, I passed.

    2 days later, I went for my assessment with my second mentor, my reassigned specialist, who passed me as well.

    The issue next was the completion of my 12 CMEs. CME stands for Continuous Medical Education which occurs once a week on Tuesdays. In other postings, only 5 CMEs were required in order to pass. Sadly, it is not the same for the Medical Posting.

    Unfortunately, CMEs done online were not acceptable even if there are certificate of attendance.

    Luckily, I had attended a Hospital CME some time ago and I was only looking for ONE more CME prior to my exit of this posting.

    Thus, I used that to my advantage and finally, I was able to hand in my logbook and officially exit the posting.

    Sadly, a few days prior to my exit, something occurred that led to the demise of a patient. But, that is a story for another article. Thankfully, that did not affect my exit from this posting and I exited, on time.

    If you are due to finish the Medical Posting or any posting in general, take it as a lesson from me and approach your assessors much earlier.

    Otherwise, all the very best!

    My First Night Shift Covering Medical 4 / Medical 5 / Infectious Disease Ward In Sarawak General Hospital – Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    Around my third month in the Department of Medical at Sarawak General Hospital, I was reallocated to Medical 4 which is the “Nephrology Ward” meaning patients who are admitted with newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease or have underlying kidney pathology requiring biopsy or haemodialysis (HD support) but clinically stable as in not requiring oxygen support, not in sepsis or not requiring medications for blood pressure support are admitted here.

    I will explain more about that ward in another article.

    Anyway, back to the reason for this article, being allocated in this ward meant that I had to cover not just this ward, Medical 4 but also Medical 5 as well as the Infectious Disease Ward during my night shift.

    In the Department of Medical, the night shift is from 8pm till 10am the following day.

    While I was allocated here, I was blessed enough to have a few taggers in the ward and tagging is from 7am till 10pm.

    Thus, upon heading down at 8pm, there are usually a few people in Medical 4 till 10pm. Thus, upon entering my shift, I would first head over to Level 9 to place my bags, pop into Medical 4, for a while and then head over to Medical 5 to take the coming morning bloods.

    Upon completion, I would then head over to Medical 4 and begin my coming mornings there. Usually while I’m taking my coming mornings, new patients will come in and thus I would transfer in at the same time.

    Upon completion of my coming mornings in Medical 4, I would usually send my bloods at around 2am and then head over to the Infectious Disease Ward to take the coming mornings.

    In between I would be free but sometimes I would receive call for new transfer ins at Medical 4 and Medical 5.

    At 5-6am, I start running the blood gases. Usually when I take the coming mornings bloods, I would take the blood gases as well and keep it in a separate syringe in the cooler.

    Surviving the night shift initially was intimidating as I have yet to experience it and Medical 4 and Medical 5 were located far apart from each other.

    My main concern was if something were to occur at both wards at the same time.

    Thankfully, my experiences were mostly good and I enjoyed every night shift I’ve experienced thus far in this ward.

    My Evening Routine In The Medical Posting | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    On most days in the Medical Posting, at least in the hospital that I’m practicing in, we are allocated to work the “Short Day” or “SD” shifts.

    “Short Days” last till 6pm. Occasionally, we would have to work the “Long Day” shift or “LD” which lasts till 10pm or “on-night” which is the night shift.

    On days where I’m allocated to work the short day shift, I try to leave work by 6pm. Most of the time, it is feasible while on some days, it is not so.

    However, my evening routine is pretty much the same upon returning home irregardless of the time I leave work.

    1. Preparing My Dinner

    I love to cook. However, considering I live alone, the meals that I prepare are usually many for one person. Thus, I would keep the extra, rendering me an extra meal prepped for a day or two.

    Depending on my mood as well, should I be working the morning shift the following morning and I’m just too exhausted after work and there is no food, I would go for my regular comfort food, instant noodles.

    My version of instant noodles involves sautéing chopped onions, curry leaves, mushrooms and diced chilli before adding the water and mixing the instant sachet powders into the broth. I usually add additional curry powder as I like the broth of my instant noodles to be extra soupy and not dry. Once it has come to a boil, I would crack two eggs into the gravy and boil it for a minute or two before adding “half” of the instant noodles and finally topping with some leafy vegetables.

    Yes, that’s right, I only consume half. My instant noodles are extra soupy and has less noodles.

    Partly because I love adding rolled oats into my broth, thus the whole meal would be too heavy for me if I were to eat all the noodles.

    What do I do with the other half of the uncooked noodles?

    I keep it and usually comes in handy if I were to cook stir fried noodles.

    Then, there are evenings where I’m filled with energy and the following day happened to be an allocated off day or my night shift, allowing me to cook something different.

    Nevertheless, irregardless of my dish of choice for the evening, I would always prepare a set of chopped tofu and mushrooms which I would marinade with some oil, salt, crushed black peppers, diced chilli, slides garlic, curry leaves and some curry powder or chilli powder prior to air frying it.

    Thus, by the end of 10 minutes, my dinner would usually be ready.

    2. Resetting My Room

    I don’t go through a major spring cleaning in the evenings, just simple tiny actions to reset my room back to an “acceptable” state.

    This includes folding my clothes and keeping them back in my cupboard and their designated places, taking out the trash and vacuuming.

    Considering I wash my hair every morning prior going to work, there would be strands of hairs on the floor after drying my hair and dusts and tiny debris begins to gather. Thus, I would vacuum almost every evening.

    Since I live in a studio apartment, this action is merely a 5 minute job.

    3. Preparation For The Next Day

    “Your morning begins the night before.”

    I’ve forgotten where I’ve heard this but it’s what I’ve been practicing since I was a kid. Usually the night before, I would know of the set of clothes that I would be wearing the following day.

    Next, I would prepare my jars of cold coffee. I usually save up spaghetti glass bottles or jam bottles to keep my tea or coffees or sometimes to be even used as drinking glasses.

    I usually carry two 1.5L of flasks to work, one of it contains green tea and the other, my special prepped coffee.

    After all of that is done, next would be…

    4. Unwinding for the Day

    This begins with me pampering myself with a hot long bath to wash myself of the stench and tiredness of the day, followed by donning myself in a soft, flowy night dress and going about my self-care nighttime routine.

    Only after that would I have dinner as I usually fall into a state of food coma after eating.

    This is then followed by me clearing the dishes for the last time and finally, heading to bed, which on some days, would be as early as 8pm. However, on average, it is usually around 9-10pm.

    This is my evening routine in my Fifth Posting, the Department of Medical, as a House Officer thus far.

    I often get questioned by my fellow colleagues as to why I would even consider cooking considering that there are a lot of steps or effort that goes into the process.

    However, I do not find it tiring at all as it is my version of de-stressing.

    Nothing calms my mind more than listening to music or putting a good show on Netflix while going about my dinner preparations with my phone in “Do Not Disturb” or “Sleep” mode.

    Working on New Year’s Day (2025)

    Related Posts:

    This will be the second year in a row that I’ve chosen to work on New Year’s Day. If you’ve read my previous similar article last year, I’ve mentioned how my father has this tradition of working on New Year’s Day every year, ever since he started working at the age of 18. It is something that I’ve adapted as well.

    This year, I began my year in the Department of Medical which is my Fifth Posting in my Housemanship Journey. I entered this department on the 11th of December last year.

    Having just off-tagged the week before, I was still allocated in my first pool which is the Perimedical Pool.

    Looking back as it is currently April 2025, at the time of writing this article, I do not quite remember where I was allocated to. I think that I was most probably taking care of the stranded Medical patients in the main building.

    Thankfully, I remembered it not being a hectic day and I was allocated the “short day” shift, meaning that I had the opportunity to return home at 6pm.

    Considering it was New Year’s Day which is a Public Holiday here, things were rather slow and tuned down.

    Thus, it was a rather slowed down and uneventful day, ending with me returning home on time and unwinding early.

    My Reflection of 2024

    Related Posts:

    Albeit it being March 2025, at the time of writing this article, let’s take a walk down memory lane.

    2024 started with me being in the Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G) Department and ended with me being in the Medical Department.

    Each department has its own sweet memory of which I shall cherish when I reflect upon my days as a House Officer.

    2024 was also the year I took a 6-week-break from my journey as a House Officer, unintentionally, while I was in the Surgical Posting which was a good break indeed. It felt more like a school holiday and I returned home and was being pampered by my family and loved ones.

    Sadly, it was also the time I regained all my weight that I have successfully lost along my journey as a House Officer and have more or less kept it on since then.

    The struggle to lose weight has returned and amidst the busyness, I still somehow managed to eat which certainly did not help with my weight management.

    2024 was also the year I met my partner and best friend as well as his family. My circle of loved ones have been expanded of which I am truly grateful and blessed. Despite being in a long distance relationship, we both try our best to make time for each other everyday which was not at all hard and leaned onto each other for moral support. It made my journey even easier and lovelier.

    In short, 2024 flew by rather quickly just like every year. But, it was a beautiful year, one that’s filled with love and multiple odd and funny experiences as well as important ones.

    There were challenges as well. The year would not be complete or interesting without it. However, I pulled through or else I would not be writing this reflection today.

    As for 2025?

    I’m hopeful and I know , it’s going to be another interesting and beautiful year.

    Daily writing prompt Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. View all responses

    I’m having a tough time coming up with an answer to this question. I can’t think of any phase of my life that was difficult to say goodbye to. Every time some major life period ended, there was something better waiting in the wings to replace it.

    High school was replaced with college and even though the first time around in college was a mess, it was so much better than high school.

    College the first time ended long before I wanted it to and getting a full time job afterwards was anything but a positive experience, at that time though college was becoming a nightmare and it had to end. I couldn’t figure out how to move forward academically, apart from starting from scratch, so I put it aside for a few years… and then started from scratch.

    Graduating from college and moving into a career… you’d think that would have been tough to say goodbye to, but really I was ready for it. I had been a student for a long time and I used to joke that I was really a career student. By the time I graduated though, I was ready for that phase to end and I welcomed what came next.

    I was depressed when my 20’s ended and became my 30’s. I didn’t want them to end, but I was already so low that I wasn’t sad to see them go. I was, but at the same time, not really. You know? My 30’s started out bad but I was 36 when I met Jen and 38 when we got married. Once I had started a life with her I was ready for whatever the universe could throw at us. I looked forward to time passing and phases… phasing. I was sad to see my 40’s end, but only because I don’t want to be old. I accepted that I was already old though so it didn’t actually change anything.

    So I guess the answer to this question is that I never really had a phase in my life end that I had a difficult time saying goodbye to. Sorry if that’s a lame answer. I guess I am just a super mature dude who is able to roll with the changes, as the song says. Maybe I should pat myself on the back for that.
