On the advent of my 20th birthday, my dad sent me money to buy a specific gift… a fine bottle of wine. Remembering his words “you have come of age son and can now enjoy the finer things in life”. So I withdrew the money and bought myself a vintage bottle of wine from the St Andrews Wine Shop.
The shop attendant took one look at me and mistook me for a wine connoisseur. (The wonders wearing a cravat can do lol.)
Life is too short not to live it up a little, to put it aptly in today’s slang, “allow me to flex”. Yes, prudence is advised but we should learn to celebrate milestones in our lives such as exiting your teenage years. That my dad knew all along.
