Had one of my conversations with a friend about me turning 20 and how we're moving into (young) adulthood. There was the usual stuff about how we miss being kids, young and carefree. And I guess it did weighed on my mind too. Turning 20 to me, meant having to take up more responsibilities, be in financially, socially, psychologically. Gotta start contributing back with whatever we can. Taking a job to reduce the financial burden. Looking out for the younger generation. Keeping mentally strong endure more challenges. All in all, it means more work and responsibilities, and being less carefree and uncaring of things around.

haha it isn't gonna be all rosy, something many people dread I guess? Then again, looking at the bigger picture, imagine if everyone was gonna stick to a carefree life without responsibility, the world wouldn't be able to move on wont it? I mean we enjoy the luxury of time to pursue things we want, hang out with friends, even waste it away if you chose to. But that's because someone above us was shouldering that burden. Our parents take the full brunt in providing for our well-being. And we've enjoyed it for quite a while now, and its time we took the baton. And allow the next generation to have and enjoy their childhoods too.

It's time I returned the favour, carry a share of social responsibility. After all, it's part of growing up in life eh?
