all i needed to learn
this is the final post of the year. i am happy i have posted on this blog a lot more this year than i did well, in all the years that this blog has existed. i hope i continue this streak next year as well.
the year is ending, and for most part, after the time passes, it's hard to remember when was i ever sad? the year was good, i had a lot of fun.
one of my favourite write ups is "all i really needed to know i learned in kindergarten" by robert fulgham.
for the innoncence of the poem, i urge you to read it, but i expected mr robert fulgham to be a lot more old than he actually is. i really thought it'd be a old book, but it is relatively new, published in 1986.
here's my favourite part if are not aware about the write up:
“These are the things I learned (in Kindergarten):
- Share everything.
- Play fair.
- Don't hit people.
- Put things back where you found them.
- CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS.
- Don't take things that aren't yours.
- Say you're SORRY when you HURT somebody.
- Wash your hands before you eat.
... and it continues, on goodreads here.
i honestly miss the teen me and the innocence of those days. i miss the carefree attitude, the friends, the fun... only thing i'd tell my younger self and all my younger brothers and sisters is to enjoy it.
i like the freedom of adulthood, but i don’t really understand what people look forward to every day. what do adults even look forward to?
all our lives, there was always something waiting ahead. finish primary school, then secondary school. when i was still writing with a wooden pencil, i was looking forward to growing up and finally getting a pen. in high school, we all looked forward to the 10th-grade ssc exams. after that, it was finishing high school, then college.
but after college… what’s next?
mr robert fulgham never told us how to deal with the complexities of adulthood.
