I've been trying to rack my brain for the different lessons that I've learned since my blog post last January 4. There was a time when we had a despedida dinner for one of our college classmates who would be leaving for the US for good. I visited my best friend's family. I learned about the different stages of development in children and the different developmental disorders for that matter. and it all got summed up in the title that I used.
Growing up. As true as it may seem, when we were younger, we would have wanted to grow as soon as possible. and now that we're all grown up, we just hope time would slow down, for a bit.
My god daughter is already 2 years old and 9 months, she'll be turning three this year on April 3. She's such an adorable little thing. Spoiled, yes and at her age right now, you can already play with her or at her which makes me love and miss her more :)
on the other end of the spectrum are my college friends who each have their jobs, earn money while a few of us still goes to school for medical school or graduate school. Bottom line is, we are old. old enough to have our own families, and one of us even would be leaving the country to be with his wife and 2 year old daughter.
in between these two points in the spectrum is the time of growing up, of dealing with generation gaps between parents and children, in dealing with peers, school and the problems of a growing teen (which would then seem to be the worst problems) only to find out that there are worse than the worst problems that you will encounter in the next years.
other people grow up faster others are slower. point is, you can't stop growing up. well you can try but it would only make things harder for you to face life.
i can say i've grown up. though i do have in me childishness. and some child like qualities still which help me cope with life.
ah. futile way to go back to writing something with sense. one step at a time. one day at a time.
