Changes
"Once you are old, you no longer have the liberty to say you don't know how to do things. Nor can you blame youthfulness for your faults. Children want to grow up quickly, yet adults want to slow down ageing. People seem to prefer the state they are NOT in."
How true. And that coming from a DJ whom I've detested since young. Happened to be station-hopping as usual. Quite unlike her to say such brainful stuff. But yes, she did, on her very last day of being on air.
Actually, she wasn't the only one whose voice I'll no longer chance upon the air waves. The other DJ who is leaving that station happened to be one of the rare ones whom I actually enjoyed listening to. Now, I doubt I'll ever tune in to that station, well, unless the songs elsewhere are really awful, and I don't have the luxury of having my CDs with me. But truth be said, I'll miss that familiar voice.
There are 3 types of people on earth - those who love changes, those who hate them, and those who are neutral. Unfortunately, I belong to 2nd group. The ones who become too emotionally attached to their surroundings.
Throughout our lives, all of us have to face numerous changes, some big, some small. Schools, friends, living environment or even our own belongings. Each of these has seen our smiles, tears and laughters. In primary school, we believe that there's such a thing called 'forever', then in secondary school, we continue to cross our fingers in hope that 'forever' does exist. But, slowly, the understanding that 'forever' is just like the fairy tales that we've heard when we were younger begins to sink in gradually. Sometimes, it's time to let go, yet some of us still can't bear to do so. Or worse, we realised that we've never cherished whatever we had until we've lost it, and then we begin to regret.
Makes one wonder if we gain or lose more during this growing up process.
