I am now torn between being an adult and a child. Being an adult means a bag of burden on your back. You can never escape from it, because you are THE adult. Being a child would rather mean living in your comfort zone, everything done by your parents. Well, probably not everything, but most of the things. You should know what i mean by this.
Now.
There is a stage in life that is called growing up. How old are we now? 19? 20? 21? Probably around this range. We do consider ourselves young adults. But as we grow older, the responsibility on us increases. Like it or not, this is the way of life, unless we are born with the golden key where everything is well planned for us.
Now, why am i complaining that much about this. Something must have happened to me, agree? As mentioned before, i was hospitalised for two times. Nothing to be proud of, but collecting scars is my new hobby right now. My prized scar is the 6 inch long scar behind my back. At least i got some stories to tell my grandchildren next time.
"Your grandpa is a war hero". By the way, cold war hero between couples.
Sometimes, we tend to take things for granted. One of the thing is insurance. Everyone should have insurance, agree? If something bad happen, at least you are insured. So, with this hospital thing, i have tons of bills to settle. Not to mention some idiotic credit service sending legal letter to me claiming to take legal action against me if i do not pay up my bills. It's $100 only by the way. Sadly, there is no one for me to rely on this time. No more crying out help to mum and dad.
Come to think of it, we have been relying too much on our parents. The thing is, by the time we are separated from our parents, we will only realise the amount of responsibility that our parents have been carrying on our behalf. Easy things like preparing your meal, wash your clothes, clean your room, manage your things well are always done by our parents. We rarely need to lift our finger. Now, being 1000++ km away from my parents, everything is on my own. To live or to die, it all my choice. In the end, it's all about being responsible and being an adult.
I am not saying being a child has no responsibility. Some children has terrible childhood and we should be glad that we have both parents taking care of us. Children under foster care not only suffers from discrimination, they also have to take care of themselves once they past 18 years old. However, i really miss that innocent and sweet looking smile hanging on the baby's face. To them, this world is so beautiful and full of wonder. They have no stress, no responsibility, no problems, no headaches, no bills to solve, no assignments to worry about, no last minuet study for exam, no money problem. In a nut shell, they are king in their own world.
Don't you just miss those days?
Tips of the day: Never stress yourselves out. Instead, take things easy. It's all about your choice. You can choose to do things happily without stress, or complain and whine all the way. It's all up to you. But again, easy said than be done.

yeah sometimes i feel like we're too used to having our parents watching over us too.
i mean, when we're lost, we just call home and say "dad, can you pick me up at dunno-where-land?"
or when we broke our neighbour's window, and expect our parents to foot the bill
or when we expected to be rewarded by our parents for getting good scores in exams (or punished otherwise)
now if we're lost we have to find our own way back by ourselves. no one clinging to our hands, no one to soothe our nerves anymore
if we crash our car into our neighbour's lawn, we not only have to pay the damage done to them, but also the repairing fee of our own car. thank goodness i don't drive. yet.
and if we score well in exams, we'll only be rewarded by ourselves, in the form of a better CV, which hopefully may turn into a better future
sometimes i'm just not sure i'll ever qualify as a dad at all.
