Shit (II)

HOPEFULLY SCHOOL NEXT WEEK WILL BE THE BREEZE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. (assuming that intensity levels are proportionate to the no. of days)

But that's not my point here. 

I'm not slacking, I promise. I was doing math, just about to start on the MOD tutorial (which I have no clue about). But I scrolled pass my cousin's whatsapp on my contacts and got a glimpse of her whatsapp status. It puzzled me a bit so I stopped and scrolled back. Read through it twice and thought "why on Earth would my tiny cousin use these lyrics as her whatsapp status.". 

Then I realised that my "tiny" cousin wasn't that tiny anymore. She's 14. How did she turn 14. I still remember how I placed my head against her mother's inflated belly (womb, to be exact) to hear my cousin's heartbeat. I still remember trying to teach this little 5 year old how to spell "children". I still remember her fatally annoying attachment to this one teddy bear she name "brownie". I still remember asking my mother if the girl would know what "divorce" meant. And now she's 14. Belting out lyrics to odd songs.

I don't remember being 14 because it just hit me- 14 was a long time ago. A very long time ago.
