On reality, actuality, kid memories, adulthood and how simple events could spell some thoughts

It's a busy week amidst the hard rain these past few days. Though I've enjoyed a few times working remotely, it certainly is not an experience. It is not quite fun to stay at home , with heavy rains and flooding around your area. And yet, your are still required to extend your work and pretend that everything will be okay. True enough, behind dark clouds is a sun waiting to wreak some heat. Only a few days more and most of us will complain about how warm it is already. Truly, no one is contented enough!

I missed those days when I was a student where classes would be suspended due to typhoon, heavy rains and flooding. I watched the news these past few days and I said to myself that it's one of those unwanted benefit of being an adult where you are no longer bounded by the announcement of class suspension. We have to live with that reality!

Funny because when most of us were younger,  we wanted to act like we're all adults and basically we wanted to fast-forward our years to adulthood.  But such attitude is driven or flipped the other way around. Now, (if not all of us) as adults we've been wanting to go back to the childhood experiences we used to enjoy. We would find ourselves wanting to experience being a kid again, where it is less stress and experiencing a real worry-free life. Again  I say, suck it and just move forward, reality bites. It is what it is but I am not saying we should stop looking back to those good , childhood memories!
