Things never stay the same. As you age, your hopes and dreams change. You become more realistic.. or perhaps, more cynical. Your world seems to be more complicated. It takes much more to be happier. Sometimes you don't even know what can make you happy. Even when things are going right, you still feel unhappy. Why? It was different when you were little. It was easier to be happy or unhappy. It was simple.
When you were little, probably your happiness depends on whether you are getting that sweet or that toy or whether you are going to the playground. I still remember that I love soft drinks and KFC. Nowadays, my favorite drink would be coffee and food .. well, there's lots. Back then, what I worried about was whether I get to watch my cartoon or daddy wants to watch the news. Now, what I worry about will be the grown up stuffs... financial, career... family.. friends..
In the past, my routine was to go to school, come back, do homework, watch tv, read and play. Right now will be to go to work, go home, have dinner, watch tv or read or surf the net.... Still a routine. Notice the similarity --> watch tv! Well back then were cartoons.. now .. dramas.. and sorts..
When we were little, if we feel afraid or were in trouble.. we would run to our daddy and mummy. Now, when we are all grown up, you better learn how to deal with it yourself... but of course, you can share it with your close friends and family.. but the final decision is in your hands. What you do is your responsibility. Others can only listen, advise and observe.
And I think, with so many things for you to be in charge of, well mainly your life, you tend to find it harder to live fully. Cause for worry-worts like me, I tend to over think each and every decision or mistake i make and stop enjoying the process of living. Perhaps, I shall need to learn how to "Let it be, Let it be".
Sometimes I wish I can go back to be a kid. However being a kid, relinquishes almost all decision making. The right to decide means control. Relinquishing that means giving up control, giving up your freedom. Are you willing to do so? No more late nights, no more impulsive buys, no more reckless actions.. But.. isn't that good? Even if you give up your freedom to your parents, so what? It's nothing, really... cause parents always have the best for you in their heart. Aahh... the burden of a parent. Not only that they have to go through the agony of making their own decisions.. they have to decide for their children too.... How many sleepless nights and pounding headaches that they had to go through?
No matter what, everyone needs to grow up someday. And the day that you realized that you have grown up, will be the day you realized that you find it harder to be happy... satisfaction doesn't come easily. That's the price you pay for growing up.
