P and I have finally
started talking again, and it feels great to have my best friend back! We’ve
taken an agree-to-disagree-attitude, prioritised
our friendship and put our differences aside. I’m actually quite proud of how
maturely we handled the situation.
In other happy news this
week, I attended a double wedding of close family friends. One of the happy
grooms was my old crush and “knight in shining apron”, B! It was such a
touching celebration for everyone, and as I sat across from the happy couples, it
dawned on me that they aren’t that much older than P and I! When did growing up
to be a beautiful bride stop being a fantasy, and start being a near-future reality?
It got me thinking about the concept of growing up overall. We all know it’s
going to happen, and in fact it’s something we look forward to! But the only thing
remains unknown is when it’ll happen,
and for me it was almost overnight.

Growing up with an elder
brother meant that I always felt protected from the real world and its real
problems. There was always someone older and wiser, who’d been through
everything that I was going through. But recently, after seeing my protector get
hurt and be vulnerable himself, I’ve been forced to face the realisation that
no one can truly protect you, but yourself. I need to be strong and be able to
stand on my own two feet, with or without a protector. This was the wakeup call
for me – that “I’m growing up”.
It’s like I’ve stepped into
a world of consequences where I’m accountable. (How terrifying!) There are
suddenly things I don’t want to do, but have
to do, and I’ve learned that sacrifices and compromising on your wants is just
part of the deal. Unfortunately for me, this has been a tough adjustment so far.
So overall I’d have to say
that it’s not been an easy transition into adulthood, but I know I’ll always
stay true to myself, and no matter how much time goes by, I’ll always be the
same Fru Fru Shru at heart.
Until next time!
