It seems we human beings always do not appreciate something until they are gone. When we were a teenager, we wanted to be independent, finically free, and get as far away as we possibly could from our parents. We thought our parents were annoying by repeating the same things over and over again. We wanted to spend more time with our "cool" friends, who could teach us to drink, smoke, and make more cool friends. We hated school and assignments, but we love video games, party, and hanging out with friends. We thought family time was gay, cheesy, and useless, so we rather dress up flirty or handsome to get into the real teenager world. The most common words we said to our parents were "go away", "stop", "you do not know anything"...
When we were little, we had many ambitious dreams and goals. We wanted to be this, we loved to be that. We wanted to be rich so we would never ever asked our parents for money again. We wanted to be the opposite from what our parents expected so we could prove our parents wrong and have the authority. We thought we knew everything while our parents knew nothing.
Yes. We all have been there.
When we grow up, we start to realize school life was so much more simple and easier. All we had to worry about was just our grades. We notice that our parents were right most of the time, and we miss they being "annoying" around us to give us some advice, suggestions, love, and care. We become more realistic and more complicated towards life and society. We start to think about how innocent and childish we were. We talk to old friends less and less frequently, and make real new friends less and less likely. Real friends are harder to find. We start to wear different masks all the time and have different hats every day. We learn how to deal with fake friendships and beneficial social networking.
This is life. This is how we grow up.
To girls, when we were in school, we wished we could find the perfect guy, who was handsome, sweet, and rich. To guys, maybe the case is more simple. You guys probably wished to have a girl who was super sexy and pretty. However, the time tells us that appearance is not the priority, and enjoying the moment is not the only thing anymore. We start to consider about so many other facts, such as personality, future career potentiality, family background... Yes, we worry about more and more.
However, what if we abandon all the factors what make us complicated, and go back to the simple world. Maybe life will be better. Sometimes going back to be 13 again is so important. Of course, I mean psychologically going back. Society is too complex to let us be simple, but we should find our own way.
First, be positive! Smile all the time. A happy person is always welcomed. Do not be the mood killer.
Second, enjoy the environment around you! If you hate everything around you, they will return the favor. They will create an unpleasant atmosphere to make you hate them more. So if it rains, enjoy the romance. If it is hot, enjoy the sunshine. If it is snowing, enjoy the pure colour. Do not force the environment to suit you, but adjust yourself according to the change.
Third, be childish sometimes. Being childish here does not mean doing something stupid without taking responsibility, but doing something creative and spontaneous. For example, treat yourself a nice trip after working hard. Taking a bus as a tourist to see the city you live in in order to find out more surprises.
Lastly, and also the most importantly, enjoy and appreciate what you have! Human beings are very powerful, but we are not able to turn the history back to the moment. What passed is the past. Thus, do not let yourself always live in the past or the future, but at the moment. To some people, when they were young, they were desperately to be older, and when they grow up, they desperately want to go back. When they get to 30, they feel like they are too old to do anything. When they go on their 40s, they regret everything they have done on their 30s...this kind regret and desire of wanting go back has been the disaster in their life.
So, guys, if you had a social disaster in your child hood life, do not let it ruin your life. It is never too late to have a fresh start from today. If you were an asshole to your parents when you were little, it is never too late to send them some love and appreciation now. If you realize that in order to have everything you wanted, you betray or ditch your old friends, it is not too late to ask them for a cup of coffee now. If you have been a total materialist lately and have nothing but money, it is not too late to change your life style and become a different person.
I know this topic might be boring, but I believe it might be a good wake-up call to many people, who are lost, frustrated, or changed.
