Happy
Most of my favourite videos tell a story. But the ones that make me feel something... They are even better...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyday, on my way to work - I think I will drive past at least 3 schools. And while at the many traffic lights that I stop that, I will see packs of high school students walking to school.
Well lately I somehow found myself being... 'envious' of these high school students... I find it so ironic cuz when I was their age, I couldn't WAIT to grow up and get out of Malaysia. I was SO looking forward to growing up, having freedom that I wonder if I actually appreciated those priceless years...
I remember just a couple years ago, I couldn't even imagine being 21, being a young adult (It suddenly hit me that I am a young adult now - after attending a young adult retreat), I couldn't even imagine NOT ticking the 'student' box when asked for my occupation, I couldn't imagine getting married, couldn't imagine working full time, couldn't imagine so many things... that I am now...
*sigh* I found myself being so envious of their TIME, their care-freeness etc.
It's not that I wanna go back to school again - I mean I can study whenever I want to, technically... But I can't turn back time... and I found myself wishing I was 16 again... Funny huh?
But then... I realised that I spent so much of my teenage life WISHING to grow up faster (I was watching 13 going on 30 again a couple of days ago, and I was so reminded of how I felt when I was thirteen) and now if I were to WASTE my precious young adulthood wishing to be a teen again - then what happens when I am 30, 40, 50??? Will I wish I appreciated being a young adult?
So I have decided that in every season that I go through I will appreciate its own perks... Now, I guess I am happy that I have ALL the time in the world to spend with Darrel (without kids to 'disturb' us *haha*) and I LIKE it ALOT!!! I like having someone to travel around with - just the two of us! I like having a little more disposable income to spoil ourselves with...
And I guess - it is all these perks that made me look forward to being a YOUNG ADULT when I was 16 :)
