the arrival of the much desired mid-semester break marks the beginning of a busy week, and the end of the summer holidays for some of my favourite people. come next summer, we would have aged by another year, possibly with new commitments and directions in life. and it makes me wonder how everyone will be like a year from now.
will we still be able to play silly games, do the traditional hc mass dances, or sing to the tunes of old spice girls songs that once defined the pop culture in our childhood? will we still be shouting 'ugly ugly ugly', smacking our palms on the table and competing over the possession of meaningless picture cards? will we still have the patience to watch our friend perform tricks with the cards, and be truly amused and awed by magic behind it? will we still have the time to sit in a circle, play the guitar and sing along with the warmth of our friendship as our invisible campfire? will we still be able to remember and reminisce the good times that we have spent in the parting years of our adolescence and the budding years of our adulthood?
im beginning to think that maybe, im expecting and demanding too much from life, and from the people around me. and because of that, i will always be trapped in my own insecurities, in my greed, and in my own mind.
