I would like to dedicate this post to Kenneth Guo, a good buddy play pal of mine in SP DARCH 04 !
As mentioned earlier and commonly in my precious posts, i said puberty sucks, and guess what, it really does. It sucks so damn hard especially, when puberty hits you unknowingly at the age of 18-19. Keeping in mind for guys the raging years of hormones and growth are around 15-16, some people do indeed show signs of late mental growth. (no, i am not saying these people are stupid)
Puberty involves changes of the body, and especially the mind. Ever wondered why, when you were younger that time, you did a plenty of silly things, absolutely nonsensical stuff that pissed your mom, dad, friends and dogs off ? Sometimes, we young people/younger people can't think so well and correct as most parents and adults think we can.
Sure, we look tall, big and bigger on some parts for the ladies, but appearance does not necessary means our brains are really growing. I think as educators and adults, need to have an assumption that 15-20 year olds can ACTUALLY have the mindset of a twelve year old. A 12 year old would probably run around in the shopping mall with their shirts tucked out and shoes untied while screaming "the nazis are coming !". Alternatively, they might even be some forbidden place at night with the neighbours' daughter/son doing funky stuff. These can be quite dangerous really. (but good for procreation)
Even for the great Yuankai, he had been once, young and ignorant, silly and stupid like all 10 year olds are. He's been disillusioned, hypnotized and drugged till he cannot even spell out his mother's name. Yet, he still lives and breathes the same air you are breathing right now, ain't that amazing ?
No one has the right to judge themselves on how matured they are. It is only fair, for observers to actually tell you how childish or grown up you had become or still are. For myself, i still think i have many much more things to learn to help me mature faster, as honestly i feel that my mindset is not up to par with the norm. But hey, its all part and spelled out in the word "youth", because as youth, i feel it is necessary to make mistakes and learn from the mistakes. Once you are an adult, mistakes means money, time and blood.
So, Kenneth, if you forgot really what i told you on the train the other day, here's the main point;
Make your decision, you make it fast,
make the wrong one, just regret it last.
Life is about choices and making mistakes,
learn from your mistakes, cause there's still another day.
Love is like a design, there's no right or wrong,
go jump right in don't think it too long.
Heave ho ! Oh i try so hard to rhyme,
i'm running out of ideas so i'm gonna say bye bye.
alrights, arui !
