After this, I'll go home...
Then sleep some and wake up at dawn and come to work again...
That's the general cycle of my day now...
Gone were the days of cutting classes to play billiards and to go to the mall. Gone were the long nights spent drinking with friends and the longer days spent trying to cope up with class. The crazy classmates and the crazier teachers are all gone now... Coz the truth is, in the grown up world, all you have is yourself. No man may be an island, but certainly no man is a continent either...
Life was so much simpler when I was younger...
I never had to worry with my tardiness as long as I pass the class...
When I was younger still, I never had to worry about passing as long as I don't get a teacher mad at me...
And still younger than that, I didn't have to worry about teachers and school at all!
ain't it that simple??
I used to dream to be someone great, you know...
Like someone who can change the outlook of the entire world about something so vital to human existence...
I used to dream that I'm a hero or something and I go out of my way and save this person who in turn will make wonders that will benefit the world.
I used to be a dreamer... Everything seemed possible to me. Now I think I'm more of a realist. It's quite sad, really. Coz the dream world just seemed so bright, beautiful and... well, wonderful! The real world is a pale ghost compared to it.... Here everything is in black and white. If you don't work, you don't have money. If you don't have money, you can't buy things. If you can't buy things, you can't eat. We live in a world of ifs filled with consequences. The "enlightened ones" live in a world of whys. But children, children live in the world of why nots...
If only I can be a child again... Then again, WHY NOT??
