So Christmas is only a month away now.
But I guess the holiday spirit isn't coming to me as how it always had when I was a mere innocent child devoid of any knowledge about the internet.
Sure gift giving is awesome, but once you think about it is it really something out of celebration or love? Or is it out of obligation?
When I was a child, I couldn't wait to open those presents under the Christmas tree, now...it's the same tree but the emotions I have seeing that tree, and all other decorations in the house makes me feel all empty inside.
I've always been told that growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.
So is this what it feels like to grow up?
Our Christmas vacation is growing nearer as well with only three weeks to go, and along with those following three weeks is my birthday.
I'm turning 18, now. The age everyone calls an adult. It's like abandoning an era that I spent a long time creating. I just can't let go of old ways and let people dictate my actions.
But in this world of expectations and pressure over the future...how can we expect to find our own freedom?
