(People) Change

turning a year older (again)

I notice there is the same circle run in a phase of life.

As people grow older everything started to change. Sometimes it’s for the better, but to some it might be the other way around.

I personally experience it, in my teenhood until recently how I value fun above all. I have a few mottos that can describe well about my idea of how life should be.

“Carpe diem”

 

“Money in your pocket must be spent”

“If there is a way it should be a fun way”

Not only I’m fearless to challenges life has offered but I’m also an optimist devotee.

“Behind the darkest storm there must be a radiant rainbow”

I was a hundred percent sure of the statement I invented above and am still confident now. 

So you see I’m a bubbly person, very open minded, and it doesn’t take long for me to gather some friends. I like to have some fun with a large number of people and I also enjoy a good conversation between two.

That was then, but now I’m more of a homebody than a social butterfly. 

No longer I enjoy meeting new people let alone enjoying the party scene. I’m more comfortable spending time by myself. Actually it has been my “philosophy”  since forever, “I’d rather be bored with myself which is hardly than spending time with someone I’m not comfortable with”. 

I remember during the peak time of my young adulthood when a hi-bye friend ask me out for lunch, I would deliberately turn down the offer and would go to my favorite spot and unabashedly eat on my own. I am very strict with this philosophy.
I really think there’s no point wasting your valuable time with those who do not interest you especially when you know hanging out with them will decelerate your growth that is an absolute time abuse !

Back to the circle of life, through my observation the transition from young adulthood to adulthood automatically allow people to change their priorities. What used to be their number one priority change as they grow old. The increasing number of responsibilities has cause this change.

Now I spend most of my time for work, family, my close friends, and pampering myself in a sea of breathless books. Whereas my social agenda takes most of my time back then.

In the future on my spare time I see myself indulging in a deep conversation with my significant one,  occasionally hanging out with my loved ones, and traveling for sure.

I have contemplated in my previous years where fun takes the most part of my life and pondered in some choices I’ve made.
I realize that life has got to be more than just this. 

Life isn’t all about counting how much fun you can get, but it’s more about enjoying every process as God molds you into a selfless person. 

Life isn’t suppose to be taken for granted, it’s rather about understand every action we made in order to become an accountable man. 

As we become trustworthy we’ll find it easier to lend a hand to others.

To be generous and finally find a revelation how life is meant for God and others (:
