no longer privileged.

Met up with my girls last night. As usual, it was a time of catching up, voicing out our concerns, lament about whatever is happening in our lives so on and so forth. It was much needed and appreciated.

We were talking about why do we feel like we're 30 and not 21.

I realised.

We were 16, as much as we had tons of fun and memorable times, we were...sixteen.

We had the privilege of doing shit things, go to shit places, and still get away with it. We could waste our time cos we could afford to waste that time.

It's different now.

We work cos we need to feed ourselves. No longer sheltered, no longer privileged.

That's just the way it is.

The times we had are definitely missed and no doubt I WANT it back. Things don't always go your way.

This is one thing that won't.

We're no longer sixteen. When the only thing we had to worry about was passing O levels.
