“He basically told me that he suppressed his love for something because he had become an adult. He was, for a lack of a better word, embarrassed to like something as childish as that thing. And that made me sad.”
I just read one of my friend’s blog a few hours ago and I got angry. He was talking about being a kid, blah blah and all those crap about being both an adult and kid. That he misses watching TV and that he hates having to have responsibility and all. What made me angry was that he was comparing me with my other princess-y friend. And that he was saying that I was the total opposite of being a kid. He was sad for me and blah blah. At least that’s how I interpreted his latest blog entry.
And here’s what I think. The entry about being a kid and not forgetting to be one is so cliche. For me, it’s just plain crap for people our age to still want to go to the toy store and watch captain planet or johnny quest. No offense. I seriously don’t believe some of my friends who claim that they’re happy because they found the kid inside them.
Lami kaayu ingnon og “MAO BA?” Naunsa man diay na cla pagkabata uy? Wala na cla napul-an or naka get-over og princess2 stories or mutan-aw og mga duwaan? Giunsa man na cla pagpadako? Nganu mga OA man kaayu ni cla about ana nga mga stuff? LOL.
I don’t want to be that bitch from next door but what the hell are these people doing? It’s okay to be a kid once in a while but I think some of them are overdoing it. Mga sobra rajud ka OA! hahahaha.
You’re 21 years old. Start being responsible. Take responsibility. Stop being such an idiot looking for the things that make you happy because even though happy-ever-afters truly exist, you just can’t sit there acting like a child and wait for it. I will advise you not to lose the child in you but I’m also gonna tell you to take life seriously. Hello? you’re in the real world mister and it’s not like your just going to worry about not being able to watch your favorite cartoon shows or not being able to buy the latest comics of the incredible hulk all your life. This is real life. And real life is never like the fairytales you read. Real life is working to live. It’s about taking care of the people around you. It’s preparing for whatever may happened.
I can’t say that I am and adult or that I’m mature enough to be one. I still love spiderman, pokemon and mufasa. I still enjoy watching kid’s TV shows every now and then but the statement above is pure fallacy! I DID NOT suppress the things I love back then just because I became an adult! I chose to become more of an adult than being a kid— unlike you, I have responsibilities.
So to hell with those insignificant people who gets excited over a cartoon that they used to love and those that check out the toys that make them feel nostalgic. And those 20-ish people who still keep on believing in fairy tales and happy ever after. They’re probably just envious that I am ready to take responsibility. I also pity them for being stuck in that old land of magic since they were 3 years old and not able to see the world outside— a world with no flying elephants, fire-breathing dragons or magic dust; a world that is real.
P.S
You don’t become rich by pretending to fly like Peterpan. You become rich by working your ass off.
