growing up makes people afraid of things doesn't it. it did for me, at least. afraid of making mistakes, afraid of offending people, afraid of asking for help, afraid of falling and the list goes on. what happened to the happy-go-lucky kid i once knew, the pure and innocent mind whose greatest worry was to get scolded by a teacher.
things ain't that simple anymore.
we've become so afraid of things that we don't even dare to try anymore. taking risks is akin to committing suicide, thus nothing ever gets done, coz everything's bout taking risks and nobody wishes to die yet. pardon my horrible english argh im not thinking straight.
trusting people used to be so hard, resulting in everything being kept inside. nobody ever knew me exactly, what i was thinking, my fears and troubles. i thought that other people would never understand my thoughts and feelings, and thus didn't see the point of sharing things. but ive figured out that keeping things to myself didn't help matters either, and there are actually lots of people around who are willing to listen and give advice. im glad ive learnt to open up. it allowed me to see through the character of some people too, and also understand some others better.
nah this isn't another reflection session for myself. just thought that somebody out there should take a step forward and try to trust people around them. it's not easy, but it's a neccessary step imo. doubt it's gonna be seen by the person concerned though ha. ah wells. ive said my piece.
