I really wish
somebody could define 'growing up'. It seems how much force I put on myself to
behave mature it turns out to be slapstick. On one side I have these optimists
who yell their taglines. On the other, there are the people-the normal ones-who
just goes on with life as it arrives. They laugh, they cry, they solace, still
looking as awesome as the optimists. And I mean it.
However hard we try
to be someone else, there seems to be no way to erase one's basic traits. I
guess that's why children are ought to be grown the right way. But face it!
Growing up is a difficult task indeed.
Teenage is way too fast. With the smartphones and social networking, it just
got more rapid. I still remember my dad talking about his childhood and
teenage. He talk about it as thought it was a slow-mo movie scene. I have
always wondered how the generation X gripped onto all those nostalgia. May be
the tech-age is affecting or more clearly speaking, changing our secondary
traits. It all seems to be like yesterday, after I joined facebook. It feels
too quick to remember yet it has happened. I don’t know about others, but I
feel like an introvert and an extrovert at the same time. We, in real life pull
ourselves into safe cocoons, unaffected by the society and its problems. Then
go shopping like its world's end tomorrow. Since evolution is no joke, changes
will happen in humankind, so you can't put a saddle on lifestyle. Most of us
are living a life that we don’t actually like. But we are acting and forcing
ourselves to behave that we are happy. Take a kid to fastfood outlet twice a
week, and you'll see his life growing all over it. Are we being tamed by ourselves like our pets?
Things are getting complicated as we are moving forward. I'm not a party animal, but i feel like, as I am growing up, every festive occasion turns out to be more retarded. Now it's just about uploading some photos of those moments to facebook, and the festivals lack any more soul. Damn I say!
I've read somewhere
"when you come to a meeting of many
ways and do not know which to chose, do not chose at random, listen to your
heart. When it has spoken, rise up and follow". But since out hearts and bodies
have been taken over by technology, how do we really know the voice of our
heart? Really, we're getting stuck.
