I find it amazing how people can grow up and mature in a short period of time.
Just six months ago, my friends and I were gushing about skipping classes, hang overs, exams, thesis, papers, and sleepless nights. But now, we often discuss investments, money, career, and other stuff that only "old" people can understand.
It is funny in a harsh way. Because as everything sinks into my head, I am coming to a conclusion that we are now deduced to something far from our fun-loving selves before. Everything becomes complicated. From long exams to thesis, we are now faced with more serious things like surviving life with meager salary, paying the bills, making up to our parents aka paying back (though this one is optional), making the means and ends meet, getting along with a lot of superficial people, understanding the system, and letting it beat you up. We forget our dreams. Then, we become victims of capitalism.
Which leads me to respect every single soul who has the courage to take the step to become what s/he wants to be. I salute people who do what they love to do despite economic struggles. I look up to people who ditch a sucky job to do what their hearts really desire. Only few people can do that.
To Capitalism and beyond!
