Past, Present, Future
LOL.. after retiring from blogging 2 years ago.. I suddenly felt the urge to start writing again..
LIFE.. is short.. something my sister said.. “we will never be as young as we are today.. as tomorrow we will be older..”
That scares me.. I am now 21 years old.. to some I am young and the world is my oyster.. but in the past few months I feel I have aged years instead of months.. the future is like a dark space.. most of us are just feeling our way around the dark room trying to find a way out.. if we are lucky there may be a light to guide us out.. but for the rest of us.. we just have to feel our way around and hope that we can find a door or even window..
Each time I return home.. I see my parents getting older.. It scares me.. I have lived for 21 years.. my parents have provided me with everything for 21 years.. right now, my parents are 55 years old.. isn’t it time they step down and let us daughters take over the reins? Should it be our turn to take care of them for the next 21 years? Being the youngest.. hence my parent's last burden.. I am fighting to be independent.. Questions come to my mind.. where will I be a year from today?.. will I be able to get a job..? will the economy be better next year or worse? will I be able to get my PR? When will I be able to support myself? When can my parents retire?
To look for answers.. we may go to fortune tellers.. temples.. hoping to find a little bit of guidance.. but ultimately the decision is in our own hands. We have take responsiblity for the consequences of our decisions good and bad.. WHAT IF THE ROAD WE CHOOSE IS THE WRONG ONE?
“One step at a time" by Jordin Sparks..
This song speaks out to me..
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch
[Bridge]
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take
[Chorus]
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
[Verse 2]
You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew
[Bridge]
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take
[Chorus]
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
[Verse 3]
When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way we get there
Is one step at a time
[Chorus]
Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
