It's been almost a week since I stepped into another phase of my life! The life of Adulthood! Yes! I am officially 21! An age of independence or rather a big no. age as others would call it. To me! It was indeed important! Not only do I feel older and matured, but also! Just one day after the offical ageing, I was thrown to deal with some setbacks of my life. It might be one of those big setbacks ever in my life, but with that! I have learnt to look at things at a different perspective! All thanks to friends who are both in Manch or in SG! It made me grew and allowed me to think about how things should be looked upon at times. Indeed, I may be facing one of those crisis in my life. But well, it is also a lesson for me. A priceless lesson that I have to go through. As I step into the working life in a few years' time, I may face even worst ones. And this is just part and parcel of my life to make me grow up and be stronger. And indeed, I have become stronger. I have learnt how to view things differently. The initial stage was really tormenting. I was on the verge of self destruction. No kid! I thought of many negative things. I thought of just wanting to leave like that. Shut the whole world out of my life. But hey, IF I were to do that! I would be discrediting myself aint I? For the past few days! Two words kept appearing in my brain. Pragmatism or Rights? In the end! I chose pragmatism. I may have lost my rights, rights of proving myself. But are rights that important? As long as I know Im clear, why should I fear or bother about what others see? Even if the whole world doubts me, I should never doubt myself. And so with that, pragmatism was the choice of everything. I may be badly stabbed, badly injured from this, but at the end of the day, as long as my conscious is clear, all I have is to answer to myself! Afterall, it's MY life. A life that I lead for, for myself and for my loved ones. And with that, I have decided to put things down and move on! Regardless of what the final outcome is, I will just accept it and move on with what fate has for me. Im not lowering down to fate, but trying to accept facts. Being pragmatic I would say. And with this, the skies seem to be soo clear and brighter for me! The lovely sun's been out to bath me with warmth and love! And I just love basking in the sunlight! :) How I wish there's a beach in Manch! It would just be perfect! But well! Life's never perfect aint it! I used to be a perfectionist, wanting everything to be 100% (some close friends might know!). But as I grow and experience more in life, I have long put that down! There's NO 100% in this world. All you have is just 3 words! "DO YOUR BEST!"
