My Secret?
I wish little kids didn't have to grow up. I see my little brothers laughing and playing and I cant imagine them being stressed out, miserable adults. I can't see them doing drugs or drinking to get away from the pain.
It kills me to know that one day they'll figure out how horrible the world can be.
I wish innocence lasted forever.
I think that a lot you know. Waiting for my mum and watching the small kids at Simei bus stop and I wonder why didn't I treasure my own chidhood? Why we're all stressing out and doing things with no motivation and
letting ourselves go on like that, doing things because we have to and not because we want to?
That never existed when we were young.
Secondary school has instilled in me a newfound appreciation for my family, and Friends Are The Family We Choose For Ourselves, says this little book thingy I bought at the airport when I was like 9 and didn't know any better. (FATFWCFO - it can be pronounced as Fat Fwik Foe)

Do you remember this song? It was used in some Nokia ads some years ago like this one in 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxhZ-boAztA&feature=related oh halcyon days when I actually watched TV; now I don't even know how to operate our 6month old tv.
I love it because of all the nostalgia it invokes about frolicking around doing random voluntary art projects in primary school, because Mom and Dad have the keys to everything and the answers to the universe, homework is a myth, university is a faraway land of marshmallow trees and jobs, ho, thinking I'll never have to think about children of my own; still can't imagine ever leaving my parents to be someone else's, but I guess all that's gone now, isn't it? The good rainy days spent lolling about after being sent straight to my doorstep from school by a comfortable bus, reading Harry Potter and other books I didn't pay for with Milo I didn't have to make. Idleness is but the luxury of childhood. We have to grow up now. ): Bye.
