You know how your parents would give you a 'key' as you hit 21? well that applies to girls cos I believe guys wouldn't want to wear a pretty 'key' necklace right.
Okay. So this year I've finally gotten my long awaited 'key'. Owh thats something I've been waiting for since I saw my cousin wearing it when I was a kid. It was really a symbol of freedom to me (chinese believes that giving you the key means you can have your freedom now). So yeah since I have curfew back home (don't laugh!), you could tell how much I wanted it.
But little did I know that it comes with more meaning behind it. Adulthood, responsibilities, independence etc. Kinda hit me yesterday as I was lying on my bed feeling ill, and realised that I was all alone in my tiny apartment. I started thinking about those nonsense like nobody would know if I die in my apartment etc. And honestly, I wasn't even that sick that I will die lah. So that gave me a big knock on my head that I'm really not that independent after all, and that sucks after living abroad for almost 3 years.
Responsibilities kicked in straight after, that I have piles of work needs to be done, and I have to start applying for jobs since I'm gonna graduate real soon. And here I am being the world best slacker, keeping everything to the very last minute until I start freaking out like crazy.
As much as I hated to say it, but honestly, its TIME TO GROW UP!
The key will be a constant reminder whenever I look into the mirror. That reality sucks, but life goes on. So live it to the fullest.
Love,
M.
