I've been thinking a lot lately.
Not the bad kind of thinking, but just pondering on life and stuff.
This morning, I woke up and I just realised - I'm going to have only a year or so more with my JC friends. Then it'll all be gone.
Just barely a year ago, I didn't even know they existed.
And now, in less than a year, some of them have become really, really great friends.
It's shocking, really, if you think about the time that we all knew each other, and soon everything'll be over.
I hope that we won't be so busy during the 4 exams we're going to take next year that we neglect each other, then regret later on in the year.
But I guess what I'm doing in JC is what I should've done for secondary school, and I'm glad I did so. I've expanded my horizons greatly as a result.
In a year school will end officially for us (maybe even less than that) and I wonder where we'll all go.
It'll be interesting to go to a reunion and see what everyone's been up to. Careers, families, stuff like that. Somehow, I just know that some of the people I currently know will grow up to be great people in the world.
It's so scary.
I'll be twenty in 3 years and a bit.
I'm trying to hold on to youth still!!!
*Chants "I'm still 16, I'm still 16, I'm still 16...*
In a month or so I'll be 17.
And that seems really old.
Age is scary. The future is scary. Yet it's exciting all the same.
I still don't know where I want to be. Or rather, I know where I want to be, but I don't know if that's the path God wants me to take. If it is, it'll be far, far away from Singapore. Or not. But I know I'll miss people.
J2. Then the A Levels (with SATs somewhere in between, or maybe after). Then army. Then university. Then comes my career, getting married and stuff.
I wonder if I'll still have the friends I have now, or if they'll all become strangers like so many friends in the past. I hope not.
Mind you, I've been thinking about all these for a really long time (since Sec 3, in fact), about life and stuff. It's just the first time I'm actually putting it down.
The future.
A mixture of fear and marvel, with a bit of anticipation and adrenaline.
Who knows what the future holds? In 10 years' time, I'll be 26 going on 27. That's an insane, old age to be.
But at least I know God will be with me all the way. And that reality will never change.
