It has been three weeks since school started, and I guessed I've more or less gotten used to the pace. Before long, life will get more hectic with project deadlines, quizzes and so on. Well, I guessed I will miss school life after all. Yet as much as I would like to keep this moment forever, the reality is that life goes on and we all need to move on as well.
Recently, there were people who asked me what I will be doing after I graduate when I told them that I will be graduating this semester. But thing is, I don't know. I really don't. I know that perhaps I should start searching for jobs now, or at least that's the advice I've been getting. Maybe I'm just not in a rush to start working yet. Funny that I don't really feel scared yet. Perhaps the reality of it has not really set in. Perhaps a part of me just wished that I do not have to graduate or start working. Yet I do not want to continue studying either.
Sometimes I wonder: is this all there is to life? Study, get a degree, get a good job, get married, have children, retire etc. Will we truly be happy then? Or rather, is life only about pursuing our own happiness? Am I placing too much emphasis on the things that will only last while we're alive on this earth and forgetting that there're will be so much more beyond our life here? This world can be so shallow. Placing our faith and trust in worldly possessions will only bring about greater hurt and pain when we finally realised where it's all getting to in the end. Nowhere.
At times we have to learn this the hard way. I know I have, and still learning.
