Cheers to youth — SEVENTEEN (2024)

Lately, waking up seems more of a challenge rather than a simple task. I sleep with the fear of messing up tomorrow, making it hard for me to feel at ease. Nothing could have prepared me for this kind of struggle; the struggle of growing up and simply living.

I’m scared; such a childish thing to say but I really am. I’m scared of the fact that nothing in life is ever certain. No one can predict when and where I’ll mess things up, which makes it harder for me to relax and enjoy the moment. I wonder how long it’ll take until I disappoint everyone, as I’ve disappointed myself already.

I want to be by myself, but I don’t want to be alone
Even I can’t understand myself

I feel like it’s not talked about enough on how frustrating it is when you don’t know what’s wrong, yet nothing ever feels right. It feels like I’m waking up and seeing thick clouds; though I know that the sun is behind all those, it gives me a sense of discomfort that I cannot see it nor feel its warmth. The feeling that I know there’s something missing and I want to find out what and where it is.

Despite this frustrating feeling that gives me the urge to give up, I want to enjoy my youth. I want to wake up in the morning with more excitement and less worries. I want to let go of the fear because I know it’s the only thing holding me back. I want to live, and not just survive.

On the way home today, I’ll tell myself that I did okay
That it wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t too bad either

Although life is never going to be easy, I want to be able to say that it wasn’t that bad either. I want to go to bed with comfort knowing that I did my best. Tomorrow doesn’t have to be extraordinary, but the fact that I’m acknowledging my own efforts is more than enough.

Nothing is certain, and for that, I am grateful. I’ve grown tired of the fear that comes with an uncertain future. I want to see my life with a hopeful perspective, where there used to be only discomfort. What once felt like a dark, endless void now gives me hope for endless possibilities and unexpected joys.

We can sing anywhere with our voices
Cheers to youth

Life is already hard enough, so let’s not put more pressure on ourselves. Rather than focusing on how bad tomorrow might be, remember that our youth will pass by in the blink of an eye. I choose to enjoy how young I am today, and I will embrace every moment with gratitude.

And even if I mess up tomorrow, it’s alright. Instead of blaming myself, I want to acknowledge my effort in putting myself out to this world full of uncertainties. Because at the end of the day, it’s my first time living today too.
