Growing up.

How would you feel if one day, you were forced to carry a heavy burden on you? Every single dreams that you ever wanted could no longer be fulfilled because you just don't have to freedom to do whatever that you wished.

Sometimes its amazing to see how strong some people could be, especially those around you. I honestly don't think that I could handle burdens at this stage yet. I'm lucky enough to be well protected, probably thats why I might not be as tough as some people out there.

So recently I found out that something unfortunate happened to a close friend of mine. She's now forced to take up alot of responsibilities that she never had to in the past. In fact, I don't think she ever thought of working anytime soon even though she's close to completing her degree, yeah thats how protected she was! But now she's forced to grow up in such a short time, which I believe, would be really hard for any of us to do so.

You know people change when they could no longer choose what they want to do. They can't just be an ordinary kid like everyone out there because they have burdens on their shoulders. And you don't know when they might breakdown because deep inside their heart, they're just a kid after all. Kids forced to be an adult, honestly, how long can one even take it right?! And when that day comes, all you could do is to lend your shoulders to them when they need a break. Its sad.

On a brighter note, I'm officially a graduate now! Wee! But that means more responsibilities coming ahead. so much for growing up. Hah!
