to just be able to relax, that's what I want, that's all I want. To just be able to do absolutely nothing, without someone ordering me around. to just bum around, so to speak. But alas, in this world that we're living in, it ain't possible. I gotta go out, gotta study, gotta work towards a career so that I'll be able to get a stable job in the future. That's what society tells us right? work now relax later. my question is, when exactly is that later?
you go to primary school and study hard for UPSR to get in a good secondary school. you study hard for PMR to get in a good form 4 class. you study hard for SPM to get in a good college. you study hard to get in a good university. you study hard to get a good job. you work hard to get a better position, a promotion. and then you keep working hard till you reach the peak of the ladder, till you're at the top of the world.
is this the life that I want to live?
the little things in life, that's what will pull us through. to be able to appreciate the small things in life that brings us joy. minute things that have a huge impact in our lives, whether you realize it or not.
things like dinner time with family, hanging out with friends, or even just listening to music. it's amazing how listening to your favorite song can affect your mood.
as I study for my biology exam on wednesday, the last paper of my A2 exams, while snow patrol plays in the background, I think to myself is it worth it? this pursue of a 'normal life'? this race that we're all in? all this hard work that only causes more hard work?
and then open your eyes starts playing, and I forget it all.
peace.
