On my opinion, being a teenager is never too easy to deal with. You’ve got to cope with such a lot of things that might drive you crazy. Upon entering this stage, you’ll be having a lot of questions. This is the time when you actually need the guidance of your parents and other people; the time when you’ll get the first taste of love and of heartbreak. The time when you’ll going to realize your biggest aspirations, ambitions or what you really wanted to be. And I am kind of a quite enjoying it.
Currently, I am living with the presence of school… the most influential thing I have ever known. Where thrill in my teenage life started. By the age of 13, I’ve found my very first love… and it was music and writing. I find music interesting because, when pain is tightly kept within me, I just have to find some music that might make me forget some particular problems in my life. Also with writing, I find it interesting especially in times when I could find difficult to express what I really feel or what’s really on my mind. Actually, that’s my sickness! On that age, I’ve found who were the people that I can call my best friends forever (BFF’s)! Where in them I find a feeling of refuge in times of complications in my complex, and yet enjoyable teenage life! They are the ones who had read me like a book. The ones whom I’ve shared my hundreds of crushes, obscure feelings about some particular stuffs and things; unrevealed secrets and everything I could share with them under the sun. They are the ones also who made me believe that there’s always an unlocked door just waiting for me to open it. And I will never forget my best times together with them. They made me laugh till I can’t stop; made me also cry. They’d made me feel a part of their lives already. I had made a lot of madness/ craziness with them, as I look back all of the yells and screams we had made for this international, biggest- selling boy band for all times, the Backstreet Boys! (Wahahaha!) Having a crazy infatuation for Nick Carter (the baby of the BSB) is one thing why I crave too much for them. I can’t comprehend why MY feelings for him just keeps getting stronger! Though, my friends kept telling me that it takes a lot of time before getting to his place. Meaning, it would take a long process reaching a star! Well, all that I can say is, “the nature is not depriving us to dream”. So just dream, dream, dream… but don’t let that dream to be stuck in fantasy land. Try to loosen up that dream into reality… and you’ll going to see what I really mean.
By the age of 15, I discovered that it’s kind of a difficult for me to get along with others, especially when I’m not being myself. I don’t know why I need to be somebody else’s skin when I’m getting along with strangers. But deep within me, maybe I am only doing that for protecting myself. It’s hard to be super nice always. Sometimes, I have to show my bad side. But my father said if I’m always like that, I can’t be able to gather a lot of companions in this terra firma. Then he added up, “Remember, no man is an island”. Yes, but friends are one of the most influential creature in a teenager’s life. So, we really need to choose a right circle of friends that will save us from a lot of troubles and possibly a life of deep regret. In short, we have got to be wise for this matter.
Currently, at this age (18), I have to be more and more independent. This is the time when actually I needed most the guidance of my parents and older people. During this growth spurt, it would do me well to learn to take good care of my body, especially now that I am away from my parents. And praying is the most helpful tool to me every day. According to an essayist, “God isn’t going to call your cell phone and tell you how to cope with your pains. But he will lead you in the path of better days. He will show himself through the blessings you will receive while living your life”. His point there is, don’t let problems bring you down. Pray and let God handle it.
TEENAGE LIFE definitely has the biggest bumps and bruises we might ever see. But just ignore it. We are young and full of energy, so we’ve got to lay our foundation for the state of our health for the future. Now, 15 years has gone, and all that I can say is, there’s nothing permanent in this world except changes. What done, has been done! And as I reminisce and reflect on my experiences, I want to discard some of it, more than ever my bad times. But, TIME has no rewinds, so I would charge everything to experience and I would learn from it. But it was never too late to make a new start. What’s important is now. My present looks and state of mind. Tomorrow is an extension of today, and I am still young, therefore, I can decide to plan and change my directions through the help of my family, friends and above all, God.
Now, my greatest pre occupation, aside from my studies, would probably be how to get to know the handsome guy that just moved in my hometown. hahaha
