I hate this little town.
It's so small,too small.
Everything about it is small.
The people here has small ideas.
Small dreams.
They all want to marry each other and live in this same old town forever.
I want to leave as soon as possible.
I came across this wonderful bits of words a few moments ago ,and how wonderful it is to know that I can relate to it.When I was in my teenage years,I made myself promise that I am never going to leave this town.I love it here,the people were great and I am happy being here.Plus I have a lot of friends here.One thing that I never realized back then was that I never knew one day I will eventually leave this old town.
When I was a kid,I never have big dreams,I didn't knew what to do with my life and I didn't have any purposes in my life.All I know is I want to be happy by staying in this town for the rest of my life.Little did I know that I won't get to keep my happiness here.My happiness in this town were my childhood friends .They left eventually,moving on with their own life.And if one year ago after I finished my school I didn't took the opportunity of leaving this town to pursue my dreams, if I were to stay here,I would still be here,stuck in here.With same old same old people in the same old town.
Realization strikes me when I sat alone in my room,and just think about the past.I know it is not a good thing to look back ,but darling,I have always remember my past as being responsible for making me who I am today.I remember waking up early every morning to go to school by bus.I remember attending classes and sleeping in class.I remember those tiring day where I have to attend extra classes until 5pm.I remember going back home and doing those piles of school works.I remember going to bed early and waking up early the next morning again.And i remember spending weekends with my family and friends.I remember going to church with my family every Sunday morning.Those little moments are what makes me happy the most.And back then,I didn't want it to change,I want to live in this town and do the same thing everyday and meet the same people everyday.That explains why I can relate to those words above.
God must have planned my whole life.God must have done it with purposes.God must have already knew that He must sent me far away from my hometown.And so it happened,God never failed.
People,I am currently still in my holiday,and I am here in my town.And in a way,I feel like I'm a kid once again.This place is getting old.I don't have any friends in this town,all of them left this town.Some of them are studying,working and some even got married already.When I was out to town a few days ago,I saw many groups of young people hanging out,and I thought to myself that I was once did the same thing with my old friends like they did .They were so happy so young.and by the look on their face,I know that they never want to leave this town and lose their friends like I did.
I never wanted to grow up and make decisions for my future,and I never wanted to live on my own,stop depending on my parents.I never wanted too.Why am I so scared back then?So scared of making changes,so scared of taking chances and so scared to leave?
But I did anyway,I got out of this town.
All of it are temporary,eventually I grew up and I left.I lost so many things along the way,I've forgotten how it feels like to be happy in this old town.But however,God always has a way to make things up for me.I was sent away far away from my family.And God gave me new friends in a new place,those who I can trust,God gave me a second chance to fall in love and be happy and God gave me home at a new town where I can fit in.

For you young teenagers out there who are still figuring out your life,including my 16 year old little sister who are still lost in the confusion of making decisions for your life,I am dedicating this to all of you my young brothers and sisters.
Get the hell out of here.
one day all of your friends will eventually leave,all of them will go to separate ways.There are no such thing as permanent.All of it is temporary.One day you won't get to go to school,you won't get to see your childhood friends,might as well leave this town.There is nothing here.
Dream big,go after your dreams.Put yourselves first,think about your future.Don't believe that your sweet teenage love will last.One day you will go out there to different universities,and you will meet a lot of new people and by chance fall in love again.Don't choose to stay in this town,because darling,all of it will be gone.
If you haven't decide to leave,if you planning to stay here forever,and find a job as a cashier at the supermarkets ,fall in love with some jobless random guy and settle down,what would your future be? You would end up being an old pregnant women stressing out where can you find money to support your soon-to-born-baby.
And I am deeply sorry for those teenage girls who are too blind to love,who chooses to marry at the early age of fifteen sixteen or seventeen,who quit schools and choose to raise their own kids at the age of not more than twenty years old.These people,they have small dreams.
Where are your big dreams,people?
Don't you feel that one day you will regret of quitting schools and not pursuing your dreams and find a job and get financially stable?Boys and girls,get out of this town and go pursue your dreams,aim higher,go out there,meet new people,go travel and go find someone who is worth to share your future with.Your journey has not ended yet,you are just starting to embark on your real life journey.Your journey of finding true love,your journey of pursuing your dreams and your journey to gain a lot more experiences that the world out there has to offer.If you stay here for the rest of your life,you will get bored and you will never has a chance to pursue your own happiness.And by the time you get really old,it'll be too late.Yes,the world out there is scary,but that's what makes it interesting.And you will ended up wanting more of that life's experiences.
Girls,we are no longer the minority,we are half the inhabitants in this Earth.Screw those old people sayings that said,girls don't have to study hard and find a job,all girls needs to do is stay at home,do all the house-works and pleases their husbands.To hell with it.I am a female and I am not afraid to go out there and prove to them that I can beat the male species.I am not going to stay in this same old town and marry and have children.I want to go out there and study and go far,because I have much bigger dreams than most of the people in this town have.Girls,beat the hell out out the guys.Prove to them that you can stand at the same level as the guys.Develop your self esteem,dream big,be courageous enough to face anything,don't be a crybaby,be a hardcore baby.
Repeat this after me : I don't chase after mens,I chase after success.And never ever rely on marrying a millionaire because you are intelligent and you have much bigger ambition and you are capable to be one on your own.I kept saying this to myself over and over again.You need to learn to stand up for yourself and fight for what you believe in,fight for your dreams,and sometimes,pardon my language,kick some ass.
And hey,all the best making your life colorful rather than dull :)
And keep this in mind,don't be a crybaby,be a hardcore baby.
I'm proud of you,Cinderella.
