Fellow city dwellers,
Summer is a great time of the year, with bright green trees, flowers, and bees working away on providing honey. It is also a time to visit family. Family is a lovely and fortune thing to have, coming together for holidays, laughing and enjoying those few days a year together. Yes, yes, all is great overall, but there are those few moments that you just want to...
For some reason, even on holidays some members of my family decide to rise with the sun. It would not be a problem if they went downstairs and enjoyed the day there. But no, these few members decide to shout and run around upstairs, right by the door.
There is also no moment of quiet. Living alone on a day to day basis, one really gets used to the peace and quiet. However lonely it may sometimes be, a person just needs a little bit of alone time. Unfortunately, that is not really possible.
Family business aside, I had a strange moment coming back from my exam a few days ago. Walking home, I passed a pub. Every single person in that pub looked exactly the same; white shirt and black bottoms. I wondered for a second how they even recognised each other. It is a strange feeling, when you have been working all your life towards something you in the end realise, you really do not want. No matter how hard you try to see the good side of it, you just can't.
Someone once told me that in life you are not always going to be doing what you like. That you are often going to have to do what you do not want, don't like. To this day, I still don't understand. You live once (in the regular sense of living), a rather short once, and so I do not see the reason to do things you do not want to.
Do we really not get to do what we love? Is that all there is? Are we so pressured by the society and people around us that we forget our dreams?
Toodles.
