All too well

 Today I listened to a song from Taylor Swift named “All too well”. And suddenly, I realize that I have changed a lot since the day I was just a little girl. I have changed and so have many people around me.

I remembered that day when I went on a trip with my dad’s friend – uncle N, I asked him if he wanted to eat some rice cake and he looked at me, nodded his head, but he said: “Yeah, but only one”. Now, looking back at that day frame, I felt that when growing up, we all knew when to limit ourselves, not like when we were small, we would do anything we liked, and would eat as much as we wanted. A few days ago, after watching a movie, I started to cry because I realized that childhood was over forever and I had to grow up. Things would never stay the same since everyone around me is all getting older, even me and my parents. There are a bunch of reasons why I feel this sad, but mostly, I think that it is because grown-ups’ world has so many worries and sadness that I never want to join it. I have always lured myself that if I live young, I can always be a little kid. However, at some point in life, a little kid cannot help its parents not to worry about her and a little kid could not do a lot of things that she wants.

When coming back to Vietnam, I suddenly realized that many relationships I had before leaving to Germany have changed. I don’t know if this has happened for a long period of time and when I changed, I realized that or if this was because the change in my life that led to those nearly-broken relationships. However, I believe that people love you will always be there for you, no matter where you go and how much you have changed. That is what makes life beautiful.
