Many many years ago, eyes bright, starlight, we embarked on a journey into the world. I was looking through photo's of those days. When we were nobodies on a life journey. We knew we would all become something special but had the tenderness and innocence of young lifes and love.
We were on a journey together and the best university in the land. We were to become lawyers, doctors, engineers and investment bankers. The pot of gold was a given and we were there to have a good life. Remember the soccer games and the drinking on south lawn, remember the rnb nights and the cultural shows.
We knew we were lucky. We knew we would make it. I sometimes think thought that these days we have exceeded the expectations anyone had of us. We are a confident bunch, always were.
And looking back at that photographs i see the youth and innocence in out eyes. Life is awesome these days. We are all somebodies traversing the world, decked in designer gear, owning out own property portfilio's and playing the stockmarket.
Yet i see a certain glimmer in our eyes in the photographs of yesterday that capture the glint of what may come. The wonder of not having lived but knowing you will.
