count your blessings
because freedom is not like the freedom you assumed
theres more to it with responsibilities+consequences
i hear thirteen year olds complaining about a lack of freedom
what more do they desire?
more time out?
is that what freedom is all about?
freedom don;t come easy.
trust between parent and child is the first step
the first time I ever went out alone with my friends w/o my parents was when I was twelve
i don;t remember going out freely with my friends when I was thirteen.
fine, you;d think, that;s my problem
fair enough
but have you thirteen year olds actually realise how fortunate you people are?
getting the newest and lastest handphone models from your parents
(for a fact, i don;t remember even having a hp when i was thirteen)
getting expensive rewards from your parents after every single common test
(i don;t deny that I too, receive rewards from my parents but they were not so often.more like only for impt examinations like the sec 2 streamings and "O" levels.and these rewards are often to go out of the country and the places we end up at were never my choice)
at the age of thirteen, i remembered the only time off i get to spend time with my friends were in school, for projects and prolly during Saturdays when we had our CCAs.i had a curfew, to be home by 5pm.that was how strict my parents were-then.it was only when I turned fifteen that everything started to change.more lenient.and lesser strict rules.but still, I obeyed them, not cozz I am afraid of them or what-so-ever.but cozz they explained why.they tell me stories.stories I hear and sometimes feel so lied to.or like some kiddy, so tightly tied to my mamas apron strings.but still, whatever came my way, I;d often reflect the situations I;m thrown into, to the countless stories my parents so often chant.
i think you thirteen year olds should focus on your studies first.live like you;ve never lived.enjoy your secondary school life like how most will do.love life.stop complaining about freedom.you will eventually gain your so-called "independence" when you deserve it.trust me when I say so.cozz for by then, I believe, you;d think that it;ll be best to never grow up.just like how I have hoped.i hope I;d never have to grow up.that everything will be so simple.just a simple smile for the day to make me happy.without any work politics.that I can be the cheery lil girl I used to be.to dream over clouds amidst the clear blue sky.
to come and think of it now, i admire my parents, for i think they did the right thing.in the future, i;d also like to bring my children up.just like how my parents brought me and my brother up.strict yet understanding.
count your blessings.i;m well trying my best to look for reasons to be glad over, that I will take each stride at a time and yes, live life like I;ve never.to somehow, count my blessings as I go by..
