人理所当然的忘记

Just caught 我的少女时代 with Joshua Tan.

Awesome show.

Made me think of my past and I reflected.

Thought of how simple things were back then.
And I thought of how forced my emotions are recently.
It's really not easy to be truly happy.
And it sucks to think that "to be truly happy" gets more difficult as we grow older.
But I guess it's not true.
It's more of perception.
How happy you are depends on how you perceive it.
I guess it's all the expectations we hold on to ourselves that cause happiness to seem further than it really is.

Let's just take an example.
5 years ago, when you were in secondary school, things were much more simpler and everything seemed to be happy.
Days like playing soccer with friends, studying with friends, going out with friends.
All these simple things make us happy.
That's because we choose to make things simple.
Enjoying everything because we don't have that ability to judge people properly yet.
But as we grow older, we're more afraid of being judged.
And because of that, we turn to ourselves.
And we stopped believing people as easily as we used to back in the past.
And I guess that's why old friends always seemed closer to you than new friends.
Because they are the simple friends that you've made back then when you were "less judgemental"

I guess it's really all part of growing up.
And it's like a survival of the fittest.
Everyone wants something out of somebody.
But end up forgetting how to feel truly for this person.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Just some random thoughts when I compared my life back in secondary school and now.
Things are so different right now.

Oh well.
I guess we need to start feeling for people.
And not taking people around you for granted.
