Growing Up

Love is like a hundred butterflies fluttering in your heart.

It seems like everywhere I turn, there is love everywhere. So many of my friends are getting married, already married and having children. As I look at my little cousins, I get reminded of myself and my childhood. Man, it feels like it was ages ago. I mean, I had forgotten a lot of things, but after living with people so young and so small and living with a thousand toys in your room (and sometimes finding some buried in your bed or waking up to a beeping tamagotchi), it's hard not to remember things and think back.

I remember feeling really small and tiny when I was in kindergarten, and looked upto the 'big kids' in Year 6 and thought we had ages to go until being one of them. When the time came and we were in Year 6, we all thought we were 'adults' and knew everything then. Then we started high school, and then we became the babies of the school again and reality kicked in that we still didn't know anything and had many more years till we were the 'big kids' again. It had seemed like agaes. Now that I've finished uni and am working, I still think there's so much to learn and know. I still feel like a baby at times. Then I see my friends who I went to school with, starting families and doing these grown up things, and I think to myself, "When did we grow up so fast?" It seemed like it was still ages to go till we were in high school, and university and getting married.....

As one of my friends wrote on her blog, it seems like there is a boom in marriage. Everyone seems to be getting married and having babies. I guess this is a good thing though.
