I was trying to find a toppic of my new reflection when I heard a group of kids shouting outside of my window. I thought about how I used to be like them. I used to go out with my friends from the neighborhood and play with them on a local playground. I realized how much time has passed since that time, how much I have grown. It's crazy that nowadays I barely see the people that I used to hang out with for hours almost everyday. I remembered how innocent and incredibly joyful kids can be. They know how to live in a moment, they don't have any worries. I feel like as we get older we forget how to be happy, how to enjoy the little things in life. We are always so busy that we forget to stop and look around, to appreciate everything that we have and the people that we are close with. I think we should take a moment everyday to think and try to realize how lucky we are. Maby those little things could bring back some of that pure happines from our childhood.

I went to an art exhibition the other day. I was surprised to see that the majority of people that I saw there were people that seemed to be rather elderly. That got me thinking about the cause of this occurrence. Is it becouse young people are not intrested in art anymore? Is it the internet that drives us away from getting out of our houses and comming into the world? I noticed that kids nowadays spend quite a big amount of their time glued to their phones. Why are we letting the internet or our phones enslave us? With ther rise of internet's popularity poeple have started to shut themselves off from the real world, from other humans. I think that we should make an effort to free ourselves from the bad influence that modern tehnology has on us, and try to experience the world around us. After all real life is not in the little screens of our phones.

Last week my sister started high school. That reminded me of an importatnt choice that people my age have to make every year. At the age of 16/15 kids in Poland have to decide what do they want their job to be in a couple of years. For many of us this can be a very stressful and hard decision to make. Most of kids that age don't know themselves that well yet. They are just starting to discover what they are good at and what they are truly interested in. The system is wrong. Why can't we first learn about all the possibilities that we have and than make a choice that importatnt? In my opinion high school should be the time of getting to know the world as well as ourselves, seeing what's around us and really exploring our options. Than maybe after spending three or four years like that we would acctually be ready to make the right desicion.
