I’m getting old
April 18, 2005When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to become a full-fleged adult. For me, it would mean the fulfillment of a lot of things. Voting for one. Ever since I witnessed the election of “Erap”, I couldn’t wait to be one of those who decides the fate of future generations (voting, that is). Then there is the extended curfew by my parents. Finally I can go home at midnight. And I also want to be able to earn and handle my own money.
But when I finally became a grown-up (in numbers, at least), all I seem to do now is to reminisce what it was like when I was younger. When all I needed to do was pass my exams and that was it. Yes there were a lot of restrictions but there was also a lot a freedom that I no longer enjoy.
Then somebody gave me this piece. I realized that a lot that are stated here are true. And it made me think. Am I really willing to give up what I had before for what I have now?
Geez… frankly I don’t know the answer to that question. How about you? (more…)
