I don't know if you can call it a look post. We had our famous
matric ball - the equivalent of prom minus the prom-queen part - two months ago, and it lived up to its
expectations. It's one of those milestones you dream of when entering high
school -now that it has passed, it feels like nothing but a vague memory.
As the theme went Memories
take us back; Dreams take us forward I can’t help but feeling excited as
well as uneasy – it’s a phase that a lot of us wished could pass. I am guilty
of such thoughts. Yet, it’s feels like a lifetime has ended. In my five short
years I met the coolest and most interesting people whom I’m able to call my
friends. I met flamboyant teachers who had to put up with a class of diverse
young “dames” as my school puts it. And now it’s all over.
To be honest, I’m scared of growing up, I mean who isn’t. THE BIG
WORLD. Sure it’s exciting, but change scares me. Finals are in progress, and it’s
the last step towards the finality of no longer being called “skoolbrood”. Then
it’s off to university or wherever, and then comes that part we all call “the
rest of our lives”, and as most movies put it, the end of our lives.
I’m not so sure where I’m going with this post, and there’s a huge
pile of physics screaming for my attention. So I leave you with something I
should’ve told myself five years ago – I’M NOT TRYING TO BE CLICHÉ, but – stop worrying
and enjoy the moment you’re in now. I have always worried about various factors
that kept me from enjoying the present and of course I regret it. So you, yes
you, enjoy the moment if you’re not already.
