When we were younger, we were always wishing for time to run twice or thrice as fast just so we could be "grown ups" and those "grown ups" always told us "Why would you want to grow up, it is good to be young"; and now I find myself repeating that to people younger than me, "Trust me, you don't want to know what it's like to be older." But as usual, you'll only truly understand what something feels like when you've been through it and by the time you are at the point where you are experiencing it, it's impossible to turn back time to go back and enjoy your younger days. So, sigh. I find myself sighing so much as July began because it means work has started too. I wouldn't air all my grievances about work here because honestly, I've complained enough that I'm tired of my own stories.
Horrible things aside, there are good that comes out from growing up and one things for sure, I learned how to appreciate the people that stayed by my side through growing up.
So July, you haven't been that bad yet, but I shall not challenge you to give me your worst. Just really grateful to the people in my life that made me smile, that made me laugh, it's just that presence, physically or through prayers that makes being alone not so lonely.
Thank you God for everyone, old and new.
