The End of My 25th
I spent countless midnight sobbings, hard arguments, and dozens kilometers of self-questioning walks to get to this point of sincere and genuine, to the point of pretty sure that I'll never get jealous over anything anymore. Is this the so called awakening phase?
Seeing so many posts and rants about how everything could've been if the start-lines were different or if the start-lines were the same for everyone. "I could've been that" or "I could've been this". IF ONLY. At that very moment, little did I realize about how people were built naturally. Everyone is focusing on what they're lacking of, but rarely take a look at what they've been given.
"Being grateful is the key" seemed a naive way to say it. I'm not even grateful for what I'm lacking of. I'll never say thank you for a perfection that I'm not. However, I do accept everything I am with a bigger heart and a bigger head. Bigger heart for a retrenchment and bigger head for a consolation.
It's hard to cherish everything when everything hit the rock-bottom. So I tried, only in my head, being arrogant and seeing myself as someone greater and better than who I really am when it happened. And I found it's fun, it built my confidence, not too much, only just right. And with that kind of self-made amusement, a tragedy will become a comedy in no time.
As I grow older, my body becomes easily tired, and I kinda know that this process won't stop until I die. Hence, I thought, why bother tiring myself with something I don't like? Why bother tiring myself with something that makes me sad and disappointed all the time? There are so many fun things to be done or explored. This is inspired by Chibi Maruko Chan's theme song. So, I decided to tire myself with excitements only, and as we know, being jealous with other people's achievements is not on the list along with listening to hurtful words coming from other people's projection of their own imperfections.
Bid a farewell to this amazing year of 25. Cheers.
