It has been a while, quite some time. I've been thinking a lot these days, whether ( weather, as someone spelt) I've made the right choice. Moving away from something that I've accustomed to over the years is indeed an intimidating affair. Difficult, is definitely an understatement. Am I really " this type" ( as many will put it) of student? Will there be a cultural shock? Till today, I cannot subscribe to the idea of " choosing something that you like". I'm having a hard time, trying to convince my mind and soul that, that alone will suffice. Shouldn't earning me a rice bowl superior to my interest? Can interest secure me economically? socially? ( by that, I guess I mean social status)Whatever the case, I guess there is no turning back now. Unless............................never mind, doubt I will do it. hahaI have a friend who recently mentioned ( indirectly) that he is ready to settle down. He feels he has the mental maturity to commit to a relationship that,supposedly, last forever. What he is lacking ( from his perspective) is money. To me, it's an insane concept, something that I cannot and will not accept and will never ever comprehend- the idea of early marriage. I think it's a joke ( and it amuses me even more when he spelt out his intentions because from my opinion, he's a kid, totally). Without checking the dictionary, Marriage to me compasses an array of factors ( or to put it simply, things that are related to marriage) and that includes money, social life, education, parents approval, social background, housing, privacy, commitment, trust,friends.....yada yada yada. So how would a teenager ( so that it doesn't seem I'm targeting him) at let say..16 years old, able to have a good grasp of all the factors? seriously?! seriously??!!I'm zzzzz ( sorry for the lack of vocab) i really want to LAUGH OUT LOUD. ( finally I can use "lol" in a proper context)
