Just Wondering

There was a young lass who was twenty-three years of age 23 years ago. She met a young lad who's kind and decent and nice looking, whom she eventually got married to. A year later, on a hot sunny afternoon in December, a little baby girl who weighed 6.3lbs was brought into this world.

This little baby girl is now twenty-two years old young lass, just like her mother was, some 2 decades ago. Just like any girls, she'd of course loved to have someone special who'd say all the nice things in the world to her, treat her like a princess, protect her from the scary world out there, take her in the arms and make her believe she's the most important thing to him. In short, she'd loved to meet her Prince Charming.

But truth be told, not everyone is that lucky and most people usually dont get all of what they want (partly because they never cease to want more, but that another issue altogether). So she's still just a young lass, living with her parents and sibblings, and still studying. 23 years ago, her dear mother didn't get to go to university let alone overseas because in those days Girls weren't thought to need such high education. And also her mother didn't come from a well-to-do family.

So the young lass felt blessed to have such wonderful parents and fun sibblings, such interesting relatives in Penang and Singapore and Australia. She's blessed with such good and true friends wherever she goes, and not just one or two, but many many. She's showered with love and caring friends all over the world and has a comfortable life and she doesnt feel she should ask for more. Even though sometimes there's a hole somewhere within her, feeling empty and lonely. Only sometimes.

And it's at that sometimes that she wonders, what it'd be like to be marry so early and have kids so young at age. What it'd be like to have kids in 2 years' time, just like her mother had. What it'd be like to be a young mother whose kids have young grandmother, and what it'd be like for her career with kids at such young at age, or if she's even gonna HAVE a career. And what if she has kids later in life, and her kids dont get to spend much time with their grandparents for they'll be too old by then and might just leave before they're born.

What would it be like, she wonders.

Lots of possibilities. Infinitive. It's a world of possibilities, aint it not.

Meanwhile, all she can do is just wonder. =)
