Do you realise how people change when they grow up.
You know, I have friends who wish they could grow up faster. Add on numbers to their age so they could walk a little further, go on a little longer and be free to sign legal papers on their own. They wish to be free of chains that reigned on them so that they are able to make every choices on their own because they’d know what is the best for them and their future.
But the only thing that they forget as they grow up, they forget that responsibilities come with the whole package and that every move, every word, every choice is a reflection of who they are and what they believe in.
And as I browsed through my friends’s profiles in facebook, I realised how much they had changed. Their perceptions, their stand, their principles. So much of their innocent and original identity had been re-sculptured conceptually by the ideas pumped in by the media.
It is a shame that those beautiful traits that I had adored once about those people are lost.
Yet, I do realise that I cannot simply judge them based on my own stand and principles in things, in life. So the only thing to do is to learn to accept them once more entirely on who they are now.
What’s left to do after that is to simply watch what I had believed in fly away and smile at those ”used to be’s”. Just like what Hady Mirza says.
