Turning 25, the quarter of a century

That was just before I turned 25. Alright, actually it was aleady after, but it really shows the state of mind: what's behind the door, what to expect?














Immediately after turning older than a quarter of a century, I got a bit stressed.
Looking to all my friends who stayed behind, wondering how it was to still be young and feel that everything was still to come, belonging to the future.



















guys, what's it like to still be there? tell me, I forgot already?


Well in the end, I think it's really not a big deal. On a day to day basis.
But in my mind, it does make a difference. there is the feeling of responsibility: if the 1st quarter was all about learning and acquiring the skills, then the second should be all about action? or should it? and when/ how to prepare the 3d quarter of the century???

Besides, one of the main differences on my daily life is that beard problem: now that I know that my backpack is absolutely lost over the atlantic ocean, I NEED to buy a razor and shave!! beard makes people look even older! God...

Cheers from Belo Horizonte, where Fred/Alfredo/"Fredji" and I are enjoying a well-earned rest of 3 days.
