Last week, a batchmate of mine got married; This coming Sunday, a coursemate of mine is getting married; In fact, today, an ex-groupmate of mine went back home for his engagement ceremony.
To think that it is finally final year, when everyone is brushing and polishing respective wings, ready to take off to a higher height. That, some of us is already preparing to march into another journey of life, building family, bringing new life, nurturing the future generation. It’s amazing, no? To think we are still very young, just like yesterday, of those days with thick spectacles, bag and tupperware. Of those days, when things are easier and simpler.
I am turning 21 next month. For me, it is something significant. Leaving home at the age of 16, starting the undergraduate studies at the age of 17, venturing into the first job in life at the age of 19, and turning 21 is going to mark the end of current journey soon.
Perhaps, I am a little bit scared and worried besides feeling all excited to crash the world soon. Sometimes I am pretty confused of what I am supposed to do in my age; Am I growing in the pace that doesn’t belong to me? My soul, she feels so much burdened sometimes and tired too..of things that are so far away, of things that force her to grow up a whole lot faster.
There are several people, that I would like to keep close to my heart. But growing old keeps us apart. Further and further. And very soon, more things will get in between and each of us will have more major commitment to pay attention to. If I can just hold the time. Selfish thoughts, haha.
Tonight, just suddenly, I miss all of you and “us”. Be good and be blessed, wherever you are.
