// in the midst of tuning //

maybe it's nostalgia.
maybe i just don't want to grow up.
in any case, i always feel some sort of sadness whenever i find myself (or anyone else) losing a sense of innocence(and perhaps becoming more matured).
yes haha i'm THAT weird.
why are children adorable?
it's simply their innocence.
the ability to view the world without tinted glasses.
i think i've lost this ability, unknowingly.
i believe, once i officially step into the working world, i will also lose the ability to feel gratitude towards simple things...perhaps even more.
as we grow older, and maybe wiser, it seems that we are losing intangibles and gaining tangibles.
just because everyone is gunning for that position, for that car, the house...all those material fortune, people are forced into joining the rat race.
once they have amassed a wealth of fortune, they grow old, and it's time to spend those fortune...be it for enjoyment, leisure, or even sickness.
however, those fortune can never buy back the intangibles, the 'abilities' of childhood, the emotions once forgone.
it seems like an unfair deal.
and even more so, a vicious cycle no one can escape.

children are amazed by almost everything.
teenagers are amazed by most things.
adults never find anything amazing.
