Something to look forward to

What are we chasing at this age?
Is it the cash?
Is it the love?
Is it the companionship?
Is it the parents' understanding?
Is it the academic recognition?
Is it the peers' approval?

I don't really know
I'm lost
At the age of 23
I'm facing a quarter-life crisis
Yes you read that right....

I'm so lost sometimes
And I don't like this feeling

As I plough on in my 1st year of university
I took some time for reflection

I look at the dashboard and realised how occasionally I updated
Yes, that's sad

I clocked a solid 12 hours everyday studying
And that is little compared to the rest
But I'm not the rest
I'm not like them

I realised I cant get good results in university despite how hardworking I am
So now
I realised that I should take advantage of this situation
And get to better myself in other ways

I always have this fondness for travelling
Be it planning the trip or getting the itinerary ready
Yes, so looking forward to the Bangkok trip in June
And after that I can officially self-declared I'm done for South-east Asia
Throwing behind Philippines, Laos and Vietnam
And I can move on to USA for work and travel next year

Life is so short
And it's like a book
When people don't travel, they only read the first page of the book
I wanna keep flipping the book
Get to places I have never been to
I wanna spend all my life savings on seeing the world

I don't want to be another guy
Just another friend or whatsoever
I wanna be someone who is well-equipped with knowledge
To increase my body-language reading skills
I wanna know more people

And yes, starting this holiday
I think I am gonna do a good job
I'm gonna ask different people out
And I'm wanna know all about them without them knowing all about me
Sounds ironic?
Yeah, but I wanna know 100+ new friends
Seems legit?

Hahaha, this is like a bad cassette player
Ranting on and on
Don't even know what to write now
But hey, I'm feeling awesome already
:)
