The only reason I want to keep on
writing is because I am afraid that someday I forget a lesson I’ve learned from
my previous mistake or the joyful feeling I get after keep on fighting a long
tiring struggle. However, I realized that I’ve been losing my habit. I don't take care of my blog, don’t bring a journal anymore, and skip taking a note
when hearing a sermon. So here I am, trying to recall all the main things I need
to keep going.
As I look back to the early of
this year until today, I think I have walked from one season to another season.
But, it is kind of ‘no turning back, honey’ journey. The thing is, it brings me
to a change to another change and as I am writing this I realize one major
thing that there is nothing as constant as a change.
Once, I was a uni student with
the thought of having an exam week was the most complicated issue. But on the
other month, I started my first day of working in a law firm but I decided to
quit in several months later. Once I was a jobless and the other day became my
first day in another firm.
Once, I was going to the office, waved
my hand to say goodbye to my father. On the evening, I came back knowing he has
gone, forever.
When I was in uni, I had all
night long to talk about anything I wanted with my friends. They were just literally
one call or one knock away. But during our transition phase today, to arrange
our time to have a meeting for 2 hours in a month is seriously hard.
The change is not only about a
new status or a new circumstance. The hardest part about it is the consequences
that come along with it. Plus sometimes, it requires us to get out of the
comfort zone.
I have to deal with the fact that
I shall start learning to earn my own money and be responsible for my own needs
– or even take care of someone else’s. Knowing that I am not a little girl who
can depend anything to my parents or sisters anymore is kinda slapping me hard.
I see the world is so big (and harsh) but I have to stand on my own feet.
Above may just be one of many
examples. Many changes bring many new facts that some parts of our lives cannot
be the same again and it brings us to a new stage of life. Regardless we like
it or not, different stage of life needs different kind of us. There will be a
moment where we need to learn on how to live with something new or without
something old. Whichever it may be, our worlds keep revolving and a change
will always happen everyday, no matter how small or big it is.
I don’t know what kind of new
season you’re entering at the moment. I know it may be hard, not because I have
overcome it but because I wear that shoe too, we all do. But hard doesn’t mean unbearable, right? I hope we are all equipped with all the strength and wisdom we need at that phase.
See you in a bit!
