My "Possible" Life

Just like everyone else's life, I also have ups and downs in mine. I am already 13, and I'll be 14 next year, and people say I will have to grow up one day. I am just moments away from entering a metamorphesis, leaving my childish self behind and entering into adulthood. I am a teenager, and I must learn to be one. But everytime I think about people pressurising me to GROW UP, it always feels like I am not myself. How many days I have wasted, worrying, wandering and hopelessly hoping for a place I could have all by myself. I do tend to daydream, but still, I feel that I can't achieve my own personal space just by daydreaming. I need something more than just a dream, perhaps a place, a place all to myself. Or maybe a place I can share with someone who can understand how I feel.

Then, by coincidence or not, I came across this wonderful book, which was written by Katherine Paterson. It was dedicated to her son, as her son has lost his best friend while at the beach when she was struck by lightning. It was not this part of the story that fascinated me, but it was the lesson that I learnt from it. It taught me that there are more things than you can ever imagine, beyond the barrier of imagination. The key to this is to keep your mind wide open to all the possibilities in the world. You must also live with your eyes open, and believe in what you see.

Still wondering what this book is? Like I said, don't waste your days by wondering. This book is "Bridge to Terabithia". It is a great book with a sad ending, when the female main character of the book, Leslie Burke, dies. Leslie Burke represents the girl who died in the lightning strike. And Jess Aarons, who was best friends with Leslie, represents her son. This is just some interesting facts I got from the Internet that I wanted to share.

But yet, this book is about to friends who spent time together in a wilderness all by themselves. I doubt I could find such a place in Singapore. Sometimes I just wish that I could see things that are not really there, and have an adventure of a lifetime that does not exist, but of course I cannot. The title of my post, 'My "Possible" Life' actually means that I wish I could live a life where anything is possible, away from peers, from relatives and even family. But I also wish that there will be one true friend to be there to share such a beautiful moment with me. But of course, that is one thing that will never happen in MY life
