Ch 96: Self-absorbed
I have to admit that I am fully absorbed into my own world for the past few years. Being away from my comfort zone, I spend a lot of time reflecting about my self, my current lifestyle and my aims for the future. Through the experiences, I had changed my perspectives of a lot of things.
However, I also missed out the details of my huggies' life. Like a mum missing out the development of her own child. Ever since I am back, I had been catching up with some friends whom I had not been seeing for ages. A nice little chat with the oldies and reminiscing about the past often makes me feel old. Suddenly to my realization, all my friends are growing up too. Having a earlier entry into the working world, they have a different point of view on things. I enjoyed listening. Just listening to the wonderful stories and encounters in their lives. Some of them are stepping into another phrase of life. A life revolving around 2 people, receiving the arrival of their love child. Some of them decided on the pursuit of knowledge or monetary possessions.
I am old. Older compared to the past. As one grow older, one have more fears, more worries and more wrinkles. I want to fight my fears, my worries and the stupid wrinkles.
“At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. It’s like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it’s not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away.”
