Changes

As part of growing up we experience changes in our lives. changes in our attitude, personality, looks, height and even the way we look at the world. as a kid i never really cared about a single thing on what is going on around the world. i'm sure most of us didnt cause at that time we were probably playful and busy making new friends in kindergarden and school. the most important thing then was having fun and living a wonderful life. who knows what was going on in the world then? who even cared? as a kid i gotta admit that i had the most amazing childhood ever. playing on the streets, running around, hurting myself while playing. it was the best experienced ever and being the cheeky one in school and always causing trouble was essential.


When i got a little bit older, i started to see the world in a different perspective. the things that i didnt careless seems to be a major issue. racism, disputes between two countries, economic problems were among the things that i blanked out almost 18 years of my life. now i see the world as a very cold place and environment to live in. it's like being in a place full of sin and temptation. the world used to seems as a place of peace and harmony but i guess it all changes as u grow older? being in this position now, people often feel that they should strive better in life. for example, being fitter, being stronger, being richer, being committed. we spend most of our money on self improvement books just so we can make changes in life. here's reality, u can learn various things from a book but to input the things that we learn into our life it's a different story. nothing is that easy in life. we will continue to learn and learn. life is a learning process. there's never a point when u stop and say: " enough! i am fully educated. i've succeeded." the minute u stop to learn is the minute your heart stops beating. That's when u know u've learn enough. life is a journey. a horrific and disturbing journey. u never know what is going to happen to u next. well u would know unless u are some god or something who can predict the future.

changes i see. changes i feel. changes i bare. as my journey continues, i keep most of it in my memory. memories when i was a child, a teenager in high school. sometimes i stop and think oh how i wish i am able to rewind and be in that moment i treasure the most once again. but i guess it never happens in reality.

this sentence i read in a magazine actually means something. i dont know about u but it does to me.

"the road to being a better man is long and hard and lashed with many stones, and we all walk it alone".

so take a break from your busy schedule and think about the changes u went through in your life.
