And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on earth.
-Raymond Carver, "Late Fragment"

two years ago i was waiting to start form 6; two years later i'm just done with my course interview and the day i know which course i'm offered is yet to come.
the day we know we're heading to diff parts of the world. being separated, but we share the same dream. that's what matters most. :)
so i've spent 4 full months in my kindergarten. the excitement is diminishing, sometimes i just feel like not waking up in the morning, perhaps every working day. == it's how it's like when you get used to something that's not what you desperately want to do. you're just being responsible over it, period.
something very obvious. when we start working, we blog less, but not when we're busy preparing for exams or during school life. so obviously, it's not about blogging, it's about the changes that could be seen in our lives, when we no longer mix daily with school friends, when we deal a lot with colleagues, when we do something to make money, when we blend into some new environments, when we are growing up.
and we'll eventually reach the stage at some point of time, where we know we have lots to tell, but choose not to utter any word. it's unavoidable. the world sometimes just tapes our mouth up without shutting our eyes and blocking our ears.
i can't deny but to admit that we might be growing taller and bigger throughout the years but deep inside where no one can ever see, we're shrinking. when it has become so vaguely tiny, we question ourselves, who am i? will i be forgotten?
maybe i am small and small, but i act tall-o-all; and maybe i am small and small, but i act tall. (
a song from the children story called molly mouse)
by the way, i'd like to believe that in the end, tho not everything will remain the same, there'll always be something that never changes. like You, the Divine Maker. ;)
