so now what?

so i was reading hussy's post on how we used to be so young
and im sure that we've all learnt a heck of a lot from when we were 13
it's true, we still do yearn to go back to when things were simpler
when our only problems were finding ways to rebel
and figuring how we're going to get through school and how necessary sejarah was
and now here we are, our 20s, our so called youth
where it's time to figure it all out and carve our paths to immortality
where we have to just know it by now
know what our 5 year plan is, when to get that promotion, when to pro-create
i guess like every life lesson, there isn't a manual that you look up
so we've all stepped into the realm of the workforce and now what?
what security has our degree thrown out for us to fall back on?
or is it really true that whatever you've learnt is thrown out the window
and common sense & hard work really now has to play a part

sometimes i guess it all gets too complex and you just want to sit back
and take a deep breath and have a fucking good look
i don't think there should be a manual
cos i think that you have to take things as they are
and make the best of where you stand right now
i mean, character building and all that shit right?
i take great comfort in the fact that you guys are all walking the same path
maybe at different times and degrees, but yet, the same direction
of that uncertainty and hesitance but nevertheless, taking the plunge anyway
of when you have to hold your breath and just jump in
i think that we've all made that leap in some way or another
and we're all still alive
die die la right? :D
