and we hold the same certificate
i thought of travelling for a bit before diving into working life
then some random voice beside me asked me not to
"you're gonna be wasting time and will be thrown behind by your friends"
well, i think people got way too over in comparing
everyone wants to be seen better off
everyone wants to be the best
but there's only one who'd be crown the best
and its a position of death
once you're up there, everyone wants to kick you down
i'm not particularly interested
i wanna be someone,
who wakes up in the morning,
cant wait to cook the breakfast to kick start the day
and i wanna be the someone,
who return at night feeling exhausted
cant wait to tell people what she has done
in short, i wanna enjoy my life.
enjoy as in liking what i do
not spa, shopping, hi-tea and all
sometimes i wonder, which is better?
to own the best materialistic stuffs
or just simply a happy reflection in the mirror?
Life got us into place where we value people based on the monetary value
but there are more in people that we are supposed to seek
when we were talking work,
i used to say i wanna work in a happy company
some place where everyone is happy
its impossible they say.
looking at those employer coming to our school again and again
i dont like it when they actually set out for us the career plan
because none of their career plan include happiness
it only says how much you can earn 10 years from now
.

..
and that wasnt what i'm looking for.
why earn like a billionaire when you're not happy?
we all picture how happy we could have been if we are bill gates,
but i already feel happy being just myself
i dont see why or how should i change.
there's a lot of times in my life that i feel miserable, or lost, or simply stuck
i'd whisper songs into my head, trying to calm every cell in me down
this time, im whispering this: Across the universe, The Beatles.
nothing's gonna change my world
nothing's gonna change my world
nothing's gonna change my world
nothing's gonna change my world
nothing's gonna change my world
nothing's gonna change my world
nothing's gonna change my world
nothing's gonna change my world
