What is normal is culturally constructed.

I think I've mentioned this before? anyway.. it's worth another say..

anyway..

just wondering...

how many people here are guilty of saying something like this.. " I just don't know what to do with my life now man"

I figure if you're about my age, you'd said that and heard it even more.

So.. a 'standard' conversation between a couple of 20 year old poly graduates

B: 'man my job sucks'
A: 'aiyah find new one ah.. or quit'
B: '... what to do, have to work to survive'
A: 'lucky my family can support me'
B: 'so what are your future plans'
A: 'don't know, for now just work first lor (or go ns) also don't know if I should further study'
B: 'yeah... same here..'
B: 'you'll never know if you choose the right path'

When you think about it.. it just sucks being in this state.. (with the exception of people with rich parents that allow them to fuck around as they like)
Maybe if my family was poor (or some other situation), the decisions wouldn't be so hard. just cause I would be force by circumstances to take one route... but with the freedom of choosing which path to take there's always the fear of one day looking back and regretting..
'I had a choice... why did I take this one'

at the same time we're pressured to choose between what we want (our hopes and aspirations) what we think we want (the more realistic goals?) and what others want for us (influences telling us that this way is the best for us).. Isn't exactly fun to choose

well.. all I can say is..

our view of the summer sky, it's slowly dithering..
