Wah-wah! Here comes the sun.

summer’s over

October 2nd, 2007

I plan to keep repeating this song on YouTube, at least until I am done with my post. So, this song sang by Rialto, one of the greatest band on the planet but sadly didn’t last that long.

I heard this first time probably on 1998, when I was still 19 and it’s hard to believe that 9 years has passed. I swear I still remember clearly what happened back then, probably because I was already adult back then, and now it’s been 10 years since I’ve been officially have this title. So, as an adult, my brain has working properly that’s why I still remember most of the things like it was yesterday. I still remember how I thought about the world and I definitely have known which is good path and which is not.

Everything went too fast, I swear when you’re 20’s it was faster to reach the number 30 than when you’re 10 to 20. I wonder if time will fly faster when you finally 30 years old. Will everything be okay on that stage? I don’t know…

It was sad to see all the new band I used to like aren’t new anymore. The radio is playing different music now, so does the TV and for the first time in my life I felt like stranger. I don’t see things that I used to know anymore. Being almost 30 should make you feel even more comfortable with the world, because you had 30 years to learn and to get to know with everything. But why all the things that I thought I knew either disappear or replacing with something new and I felt that I am just too old to adjust. Like I don’t belong here anymore. Is that how all the adults feels? Is that how 50 years old people thought about the world? How things has passed so fast and now the world has became totally strange part to live.

I remember often thought that adults are weird. The older they get the weirder they’ve became. Now I know why. It must be hard to live without things that you used to feel comfort about and the things that you used to believe. It must be hard to live in new world. It must be hard to see everything you put your heart on were taking over. It must be hard to see how younger generation looking at you or sometimes even pretend that you don’t exist. No wonder adults and young generation couldn’t understand each other, they both came from different world! We might live in the same planet, but as you grow older it’s like some unknown power took you to other parallel universe. You didn’t realize it because at first things are looking the exactly the same. Soon, you learn when people start acting in the way that you don’t understand, the way that only they CAN understand, because this is THEIR world, not you and now not me anymore.

I miss my universe but I know I couldn’t go back. All I can do is try to survive with this new life on this different parallel. I learn new rule that once you got in, you can’t go back. In the meanwhile, I’ll just gonna keep playing the song that I once knew in my old world.

“This summer’s over, seaside town,
This seaside town, summer’s over.”

    I remember reading in an article once that as you grow older the years pass by faster because each year is a smaller portion of your entire life so far. That is, when you’re a 10 year old kid, one year is a long time compared to the amount of time you’ve been around (10%), whereas when you’re fifty, it’s just one year out of 50 (2%)!

    Personally, I’m glad to be growing older. For one thing you get a whole lot more independence, and you can indulge in what you want! For another, you’re a whole lot more knowledgeable and intelligent! I think the danger is in clinging to the past too strongly, because the world changes and if you can’t accept those changes and adapt you end up becoming the type of adult that you despised in your youth, one who keeps going on about the good old days. Sure, the past was good and it defined you, but wallowing in it is counterproductive. There’s so much new stuff to experience and explore, embrace it! It’s exciting!

    I’m surprise that there is an article that proves my point. I thought I was just being crazy ;). Thanks for your positive comment, by the way. You’re right about being more independent, now to think about it I don’t think I would like to be back in school again. However, there’s good thing on being adult, it made me have more appreciation and hopefully more respect to adults out there, and I DO hope the older I get the fun I become :)
