My Family has grown
New year new order
Its the beginning of another year again, and the year is 2016, if I were Chinese I would relate the year with some animal. well its that time when majority of us make resolutions that we will never implement, but the good thing about resolutions is that they act as part of our dreams - the person that you want to be, that person whom you strangely never becomes. as my generation become older so does we seek that wisdom that they say come with age, but still you feel stupid in your actions while you expected to mature with age like wine, you still act the child you were when around childhood friends, you still fart freely when hanging around your close associates, still don't know what a five course meal is, still leave the toilet seat down much to the usual anger of your partner!
As you age so is the number of your friends, the list keeps on shrinking, its the time you realize their is true friendship and just friendship, you now tend to lean more on your family if at all you are married that is, you are a confidant of a few clique of people and the most exciting thing about getting into the middle age is, you stop caring about other peoples attitude about you! so you have a fetish for shoes, more shoes; so what?
The end of the year bring some of us closer to God too, we simply want to spend the last hours of the old year in church while ushering in the new baby - new year. you have heard of the same sermon before; ''think of the less fortunate'', you know it. you've heard about it multiple of times but since you are now getting wiser you simply ask yourself, how many times has the pastor hosted the less fortunate in his house for a feast of merry making during the festive season? its hypocritical but since you are a peace loving church member, your mouth is burning with the desire to ask the pastor that question but you simply cant find the strength to raise up your hand for attention - your are helpless full of lack of will.
The realization that life is finite hits you hard whenever you hear the fireworks ushering in the new year, as some of my friends would attest, you are mostly attending funerals rather than weddings since the latter was celebrated many years down the line. children are getting older, and that son whom you adored as a baby is of late curiously becoming a handful, he has a mind of his own and strangely you cant help feeling he's the little you, and you are as well reliving your parents on the same path they walked before.
Well its the year 2016 and for me its same script different cast, there goes my resolution.
