I turn it with my fingertips – hey clock hand, please run
Turn a little bit faster

Fear.

We all have that fear for the unknown, dear for things that may not go well in our plans and clashed with our future, fear towards the people we should and shouldn't trust.

There's a lot of fears that I have gathered in this life. Back when I was but a young child who fears that her parents will forbid her to go and play with her friends outside, it doubles up when I became a teenager who fears the eyes of people looking at me with curiosity and teasing and to my adult life, the fear of my responsibilities weighing down on me and the possibility of failure in my life.

My fears gradually increased and at the same time decreased, the ratio of failure was high and success was all I hear from ng and everyone's mouth.

It was scary.

I wished to become a kid again, longing for that childhood innocence who knows nothing of the cruelty of the world. To be a kid and be enveloped in warmth and security, with no heartbreaks and failures and responsibilities to tie you down.

I really wished to be a kid once more but then I will lose the knowledge and experience that I have gathered in my latest years which will impair me in the future.

Maybe, I could be a kid in my safety circle, without the adults constantly pushing me to become like them.

Chapter 7 is up!

We used to wish for time to run faster and now that it did, we want it to slow down.

Have a great day everyone! Stay safe and happy!
