Lately, I have been scrolling through pictures of my friends on Facebook: fun pictures on birthday, hangouts, fashion photo shoots. I really feel so jealous (maybe this is not the right use of word).
This comes back to when I was in high school. I was really spoiled back then. I thought I can do whatever I want and I can spend money like I'm from Royalty. Going to movies, shopping, and all those good stuff. Back then I thought that in the future I will remain the same: just go to classes to meet friends and nothing else, big spender, and careless about my future.
Pulling the memories from back then, I often compare it to who I am now. If I still live the same life, I don't think I will get all these opportunities that come right in front of me. Now that I really study to get good grades and succeed, I still hang out with friends in moderation, I learn how to manage my finances better than before, learn how activities that I do and how I spend time can affect me. Over the years, my parents have told me that I have became more mature and independent. I'm glad I do, because when I think of me staying in Jakarta and living the life I used to live... Me and myself would probably be different than now. So I'm very thankful to those people that bring me here to hop on this wonderful adventure and journey.
Yes, I sometimes really want to not study and hang out all the time with friends, be wearing all pretty dresses and not worrying about everything.. But I realize I can always delay those until I succeed, right? Do what I need to do now and work hard.. pick the fruits years ahead! :)
There are many ways to get to the same point. Many people spend their happy times today, but I will wait until tomorrow for the better.
