18 and dreaming
Sunday, March 22, 2009

My mind is at the beach. Far from the daily habitual customs that ties me down day in and day out. I dream of the sun, far from the fluorescent lights above the library cubicle. The open grassy field, far from the clutches of formal education. We adhere to no sets of standards where we’re going. There we suspend our separated lives, suspend the belief of commonality of the working class, hold on to childhood reverie and relive misplaced nostalgia. I have once said that we’ll meet at far-off places, here we are in a land unknown to us, we are ready and willing. Here’s to wishful thinking.

High school ended two years ago, those were the fast times.

When everyone’s getting worked up on family building aspirations, I stay unchanged. The erosion of my youth hasn’t taken its effects. Maybe realization never came, do you remember being forever young?



We stop playing not because we grow up; we grow up because we stop playing.


Do you look back and admit or do resort to revisionist history?
