Are We That Different?
January 23rd, 2007 -- Posted in people | No Comments »One sis spoke to me on her worries about the other sis yesterday. She told me about her paranoia which she cannot disregard easily. I wanted to tell her ‘everything is fine, nothing will go wrong’, but I couldn’t.
When I thought of assuring her, it was genuinely based on my personal rollercoaster ride through adolscence and that at such youth, one can get distracted easily and change of passion can happen very quickly. But I hesitated. Why? Because I’m not sure if that other sis will behaved like I did.
So are we all that different? Are there someone out there who stuck on the same passion since they were in their teens and never let go even today? Or are most just like me when change of mind and heart has happened just too many times to remember what that old teenage passion was all about.
Like my passion for the classical arts, poetry and music blew me in flames while I still had it. But having faced with a harder reality of precious time, I now find it more worthwhile spending my free time doing something else. Not really a change of heart in this case, for I still love the visual arts and the music, only in a different light and tone. Only difference is that I no longer have that flame to spark any creation of either in me. Has that flame died off?
No. Again, I would rather use the word ‘changed’.
So I do change my passion since teenage years, but will this happen the same for another person? I doubted so. So I didn’t use the ‘she’s going to change yet again, so don’t worry’ choice of consolation.
