I suddenly have an urge to write about this matter, social triggers.
It's getting real, and getting on my head a lot lately. I am bothered.
Have you encountered one?
---------------------------------
There is some points in life when phenomenons become a social triggers.
Throwback to February 2015 when one of my friend became the first to graduate from our year. It became a phenomenon that she graduated at 3,5 years, an ideal year for Indonesian PARENTS. After her, people were rushing and they also graduated quickly. Or at least, quicker than others (me counted). Triggered.
The laughing were getting less and less. The talking were getting heavier as we talked more about theories and methods, which we never thought we have to remember. As people kept denying the fact that we need to finish UNU600 quickly, clock never stops tickling. We were laughing helplessly. Re-reading books we forgot when we bought them, staring at the empty library wall we never visit before.
As the hardworks paid, we came to the finish lane. Not everyone came at the same time, but that doesn't matter. What matter is we finish it. Everyone has a different path, a way God has written for us since we were born or even before. Or even right after He made the universe, He wrote that I will graduate at 2016. Who the fuck knows? Who knows everything?
"Now, our college days has ended. The real life begins." The famous quote after graduation.
So, those 23 - 24 years of life weren't a real life?
The social trigger, seeing friends graduating one by one. Didn't matter in the end.
As how we called it, it was a trigger. You are the one who has control over your life, your actions, your planning. The trigger might have nothing to do with you. Or it might drives you crazy. Doesn't matter. Your thoughts, matter.
