it's amazing. around 8-10 years ago, i had my life completely mapped out ahead of me. i was determined to do all these cool stuffs that teenagers think were "amazing". i was going to travel the world, marry the perfect guy, have a fulfilling job...
but back then, even though i think of myself as mature, i was looking at life through rose-colored glasses. maybe it was because i was trapped within the confines of our home and my school, but as i see these kids now (i know quite a few highschoolers), nothing seemed to change. i see in them myself 8 years ago. they have a lot of things planned out for them. and that's not bad. having a dream is what makes all of us keep going. but if i were to choose, i want someone to tell me, "hey kid, life's not as easy as you think". i know they've been told that, but what they lack is the real realization that life is really not as easy as they think. they might say "i know" but they don't really. for them to know, they have to experience it, which they haven't.
i'm not saying that these young people don't have the ability to make their dreams come true. they all have such ability. the problem is the world may not agree with them. it's a cruel world out there... even though you want something so bad and you go all out to achieve it, it all depends on the circumstances the world has to offer. this is the sad reality of it all.
take it from me.
i'm not saying that my life sucks. i just arrived at the point that i've learned to accept that what i want is not necessarily what i'll get. i want to do a lot of things in my life, and i've accepted the fact that while i try my hardest to do them all, circumstance and the world may not permit it. the only thing to do is accept the reality and try my best the next time...
