Just want to do a lil short post as an intro for a new beginning.
As mentioned in my portfolio, I am currently at a crossroad. I have entered the dooms of young adulthood; no longer a teenager/kid. Every decision I make comes with consequences and responsibilities.
I will be graduating at the end of the year (hopefully...or else my parents will kill me *serious face*) and will be looking for a job soon >.<
Anyhow, the stress of moving on and being independent has slowly creep in.
Should I be terrified of the real world?? I was sheltered for so long and it has dawn on me that life is not as easy as I thought.
The stages in life:
1. Studies (get as many degrees as you can..or be no. 1 > roughly top 5% of your whole intake)
2. Job..(a stable job with fix income to put food on the table and able to have a sustainable/reasonable life)
3. Getting your own car...with your own money not your parents...
4. Marriage (stress of finding the "ONE" or you could let your family match make you <3)
5. House (use up your savings to get your own home..its call privacy)
6. Promotion (climb the ladder of success...)
7. Baby (aaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!)
8. Promotion (need to climb the ladder again...children are just too expensive..need $$)
9. Grow old..while your kids are growing up...
10. Retire
11. Curtain Falls (aka DEATH)
Hmm...interesting isn't it, that life is a cycle. It's like passing the baton. Your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren... will go through the stages too..unless you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth then everything will seem easier....oh how depressing!!
More soon....to be continued xoxo
Hi Pris, Nick Ong here. Gosh,I know exactly what u mean too.. >.< i've also been living a sheltered life mostly,& it's rather daunting when adapting to a more independent life at this stage. However, when making decisions that comes with consequences & responsibilities, never be afraid of making mistakes. Sure, one must always look before he/she leaps, but it's the fear of uncertainty & possible failure that would most likely cause us to fear change, & to move on in life. Always remember that no being on earth is perfect,& mistakes is nothing to be ashamed of. Through life,we learn from our mistakes & try our best to never repeat it. Its something that should be used as a tool to learn more about life's important lessons,& therefore,it is how we progress in terms of maturity. So as we progress thru those stages listed above,im sure we'd reach the proper level of maturity & understanding by the time we're ther,yea? :D life's an adventure, so go out there & never fear,but always cherish the memories & things u learn thru ur journey. :3 Hehe,just sharing with u some of my deeper thoughts,& i hope it helps~ :3 take care always & God Bless.
