You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

growing old too fast, too young

That's how I think it is.

Everyday, the world is unfolding. The sun rises on the east. I go to work, come home and do some house chores and voila! The day has finished. And another day begins.

There's so much wasted time and energy I spend sitting in front of a computer and daydreaming by myself because most of the time, there's no one to talk to. Unlike home, when the days are stretched, there are a multitude of things that I can occupy my mind with and yet, there's still time at the end of each day. Amazing how time seems to differ in various places.

But really, when you are forced to a corner with nowhere to go and no one to turn to, there's nothing else you can do but dissolve yourself in the moment. You have to find a way to thrive. So even if you are pushed to your limit, you have to bounce back. And I still believe that when you're at the bottom, there's no other way but up.
