grown-ups don't skip and run around the streets anymore like they used to when they were young. they also don't believe in many things anymore because they feel that they hadn't known reality back then. but truly, that sort of reality is the biggest lie that trap many of us into thinking that only now and here matters. what others think matters. only i matter. that there are no absolutes. therefore no point in holding on to what you think is truth since there are no truths. it doesn't matter. only what society can approve of you matters here and now. practicality matters. and that's true you know, it is good to be practical. but this reality that is drawn only focuses on being practical on the short term- to be most efficient. it doesn't encourage us to be practical to find solutions in the long term, in the long long eternity. it says, only now and here matters. and that's the biggest lie skipping and running around the streets with a smirk on its face, triumphant of the title 'reality'.

lincey..i was js thinking abt this today too..abt what growing up means and abt the idealism we used to have. abt expectations/judgements that people pile on us whether knowingly or not which we cannot hold. its so heavy sometimes that u js want to retaliate to be free. yet thats not true freedom either huh? :(

chrissy... i am praying that when we retaliate, it would be out of love and not out of anger. that we will not be afraid to hold on to truths. He says do not be terrified of them, or I terrify you.
