You know...
I used to wish that Peter Pan would pick me instead of Wendy to bring to that Neverland. That one place that adults are not allowed and children never have to grow up. A place where I could play child games forever, laugh or cry as much as I want and no one will think I'm crazy.
But...
On the contrary, some kids can't wait to grow up and become adults. When they're 12, they act like they're 21, and by the time they are 21, they act like they are in their late twenties (yes, please accept the fact that irregardless how much kids wanna be old, they won't wanna be older than 29). But act is totally different from being one.
Now...
I'm mid-twenties. Life hasn't exactly been smooth sailing. But I'm healthy, have a roof over my head, can wear nice clothes, I'm employed, it'll be cruel to complain. Its just that responsibilities come with adulthood. Not that attractive a package for me, especially the ones that involves money and better living conditions.
I guess...
There is always two sides to a coin. If I never grew up, I would never know the importance of family, sibling relationship, love, friendship, which are exactly the things which keeps me happy. Although tired of growing up, I'm sure there is more to gain than lose in the process.
Note: For now, I'm looking forward to growing up with YOU. Good luck! *wink*
why are my notes always so small and only at the end of the entry?
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. My life has just begun and it should come with all the cuteness and excitement but then money flies out the door when payday comes. haihhhh...
ReplyDeleteTo YOU: I can't exactly leave notes before I start to write an entry right?
ReplyDeleteTo Centurionniess: We used to think we are not materialistic and money is not that all important. But when reality sets in and we start growing up, money becomes more and more prominent in a dog-eat-dog world. At the end of the day, its how much you can settle for. Btw, your blog is being taken over by spiders...
