MOVING ON....

They say when you leave college you leave your life ( as you know it) behind you and move on to a new life. a life which has a different meaning and different priorities. but do we really??

When you leave school behind you leave your childhood behind... you leave your careless days behind because now it time to think seriously about your career.. its time to use your brain for its most important purpose... think.... its time you decide your future... you leave the uniforms, the classrooms, the teachers and everything behind.... but i din't.... i loved my school... i savored my memories.. i saved my school uniform... i saved my identity card ( now its tattered and torn), i still have my officer bearer badges and my blazer. will i ever let go off them??? some people might laugh and say i'm hung up but i don't think so.. i love those memories.. and they are things that i will never let go off because i love them...

I'm not a crazy person who just keeps junk from years back... i don't have a single memory from my junior college days. not an identity card... nothing... y??? because i hated the place.. it meant nothing to me... it was just something that i had to do...to be able to move ahead in life.. so i did it.. but i don't have any souvenir of that time...

Now people tell me that since college is over i need to move on... life isn't the same any more... i can't hang on to things..

I agree life isn't the same.. but that doesn't mean i have to lose things that i value in life..  does it?? i miss my life.. i miss college.. but that doesn't mean i'm cribbing.. i know that its time for me to be responsible and grow up and all of that.. but y does it mean that i have to leave things behind.. i want to hang on to the things i love.. i probably will hang on to somethings forever no matter what people tell me..

When im still hanging on to something as insignificant as a school id card, how can i even thing about moving on and leaving behind things that have probably changed me soo much that they define the person i have become.. im i suppose to leave those things and move on and away from them when they are the things that have given my college years meaning???

How am i suppose to move on when the thing that i'm leaving behind is probably what helped me get where i'm today??? Why can't i go on with my new life and still retain the important things of the life i'm suppose to leave behind... ??

I dislike the concept on moving on... its like i'm throwing something out of my life just because i dont have place for it in life... it doesnt matter that its still the most precious thing for me.. its inconsiderate and rude...

I wouldn't even throw an old jeans out if i love them.. after all they were there for me when i needed to get ready in a rush and leave from home.. okay now i'm jus blabbering... but i guess what i'm trying to say is... i cant move on.. and i dont want to move on.. and that jeans will probably lie in my closet till i grow old and die just because i love it.. and every now and then i'd look at it and remember all my happy memories with it.. and  who knows i might get around to even wearing it again someday..

So for all the people who have moved on.. and who want me to move on... all i'm saying is.. i'm sad you can forget whats important and just give into the need to let go because thats whats easy or acceptable.. but i aint doing it... no sir.. im keeping me just the same... for as long as i want to...
