Happy Children's Day (YAP)(18)

Children’s day is coming.
I remember that when I was in private school, there would be garden parties in the campus and some parks of the city every year on this important day. Many activities would be organized, such as intelligence games, shooting, jumping and so on. I can still recall the scenes of those exciting moments when we children joined the garden parties and ran everywhere to seek for games that were interesting and then queen up to play. Enjoying the games and showing up prizes get from the games to our friends; the wonderful day always passed fast, so as the years. Now, I am no longer a child.
I can remember exactly when I began to quit playing childish games such as hiding and finding, throwing earthbags and police and thief; I can remember exactly when I began to consider serious relationship with girls; I can remember exactly when I was firstly allowed to come home late at night, but I cannot remember, I cannot catch the time when my mind began to change from a child to a teenager, and now maybe to an adult. When I came to realize, it was already there. I began to be reserved. I became very serious with other’s opinions about me. I forced myself to do something unwilling to do to make others think highly of me and I also know much more about responsibility, although still not enough. I dare not to say whether the changes are good or not and I also have no way to judge. However, I have fed up with thinking of what others want us to de instead of what we really want to do; I have fed up with the gossips from others when I want to make friend with girls; I have fed up with myself to be an actor in front of other people; I have fed up with the competition to reach higher places.……..I have fed up feeling feed up………..
Children’s day is coming. For those who have become too adult, it is a good time for us to recall our precious days in childhood; It is a good time to recall our pure relationships in childhood; It is a good time to have unrealistic dreams just like what we did when young. And for me, I would like to keep some of the characters forever if I can, but I must live with responsibility, I must consider other’s feeling, I must make the people who love me feel happy about me, I must obey the rules to make the society harmonious and I must sometimes follow others to make a collection works well, even if I really do not want to, because I am already not a child now.
Happy Children’s day.

  1. I don't even want to bother to say that I feel exactly the same, because I hope you know that I do feel so, and I think a lot of us do feel so. If we can't follow our own heart, then where's the fun of life?
    However, something called responsibility asks us to do what we have to do. I think I am the kind of person who want to be responsible, and so are you, right? Well, most of the time we need to compromise, but remember to remember your dreams. This is also what I am teeling myself.
    That's all.
