growing up
Hey! It's been a very long time, hasn't it? I'm finally done with my board exams and I have all the time in the world for my blog! Now, the concept of 'Growing up' has always sounded so foreign to me. But in recent times, I may have been experiencing a concoction of emotions and experiences that may fall into this process of 'growth'. Here's what I've picked up so far on it:
~*~*~
I've learnt that growing up is letting go of the comfort of your parents and family and building your own life, from all that you've learnt. It's letting go of your belief system, and constantly evolving. Growing up is finding the right ones to have and to keep. Growing up is knowing that you'll always have yourself; to love, to hold, to stick around for. It is embracing ourselves, for who we are. And growing up is so much more, but mostly it is realizing that life is not a test, but a journey, to learn.
Whether you're 10 or 60 years old, you never, ever stop growing. There is always going to be more things to experience and to learn. But does growth mean to constantly chase new adventures and experiences; and to keep running? Maybe; I don't know exactly. But what I've learnt is: amongst all this running and chasing, are the moments that constitute life. To let these moments slip away under your nose, is to let life slip away without living it.
Growth and change is constant; it's out of your control, it's happening whether you like it or not. Cherishing these moments is what is important, for what else is life, other than the present?
If we know that we will never, ever get this moment in this life, ever again, why do we still live in the future? We don't know what tomorrow holds, but hey, that's the best part.
