不要問我哭過了沒 ...因為超人不能流眼淚...

 Things have been weird lately. People all around me seem unhappy, down. Like yawning, it’s infectious. But unlike infections and viruses, isolation and quarantine probably won’t help much. Might, in fact, make it worse.

不要問我哭過了沒 因為超人不能流眼淚 
Don’t ask me if I’ve cried yet. Because superman doesn’t cry. 

- That’s a line from a song that’s stuck with me.

I’m not sure why, but it just seems appropriate right now. 

When did that day come? When did we suddenly grow up? When did we wake up that unfortunate morning and skipped the fruit loops and milkshakes and decided, rather, to pile up on responsibilities and burdens? 

It all comes down to choice, really. 

Sometimes things happen and we think we can’t get over it. But we could if we tried. But maybe, just maybe, the child in us is still stuck there, stubborn, unwilling to move. Even when the adult-us tries to pry our little fingers away. There’s that child still in us, screaming for attention, wanting to be let out. 

Just like how we knew since we were young that we need to brush our teeth and not eat candy before bed. But we still do it, because we want to.

Well, there are many things that are not good for us. And oh yea, we know it. But we still do it, because we want to.

And maybe that’s where it all comes from. From the conflicts we all have inside is. From doing what we know is right, and doing what we want.

Well….which do you choose?
