A few weeks a day, I read a long quote by Julissa Loaiza which is really beautiful. As a girl who is not yet matured and really concerned about her future, this quote really hits me. I realized that it is not only me in this world who worried about the future life.
"I know people who graduated college at 21, and didn't get a salary job until they were 27. I know people who graduated at 25 and already had a salary job.
I know people who have children and are single. I know people who are married and had to wait 8-10 years to be parents.
I know people who are in relationship and love someone else. I know people who love each other and aren't together. There are people waiting to love and be loved.
My point is, everything in life happens according to our time, our clock.
You may look at your friends and some may seem to be ahead or behind you, but they're not.
They're living according to the pace of their clock, so be patient.
You're not falling behind, it's just not your time." - Julissa Loaiza
In my age, it is somehow annoying when adults start questioning my life. Well it's not only me but people in my age. When we were still students, they'll ask, "When will you graduate?" After we graduate, they'll ask, "When will you get a salary job?" After that they'll ask, "When will you marry?" Then they'll ask, "When will you have a child?" After that, "When will you have a grandchild?" They might even ask, "When will you die?". Such a burden.
It is true that sometimes we feel left behind other people who reached their success before us. But there is no use to be jealous. Even if we attend the same school, same university or even the same workplace, it does not mean that we have the same life as them. We have our own purpose in this life. We have different pace in this life. So just live our own life.
