Glimpse of Adulthood
Tuesday, October 11, 2011

It's the second day of intern and it sure does feel different. Though my team is still friendly can casual, still got to be more professional than as together with friends. I'm feeling it'll be pretty soon before I miss school life and the freedom of a student.

Reminds me of a weird cycle we humans have.

When we're young, we cant wait to grow up. When we're old, we try our best to stay young. Similarly, remember the times we hated studying, or even as we did, couldn't really see the point of its necessity. How school was ever so boring and couldn't wait to get over with it. Then came adulthood, when one is almost compelled, without choice, thrown into the commercial world. Where life is determined by one's capabilities, and measured by your output. Little remains of that freedom and once carefree life, a privilege blinded by those with surplus til the moment they lose it.

I miss people. I miss the joy of being in the company of everyone, even if I never talked to them. Somehow, after you're in the place for long enough, part of you settles in that home somewhat.

Many more days to come, more responsibility to take on. So much to learn, and I'm sure I'll find a place there. Time to learn to let go and let be. =)
