Freedom comes with a price

Today is May 20. Eight years ago today, was the day East Timor's independence was restored by Portugal. It ended 23 years of rule under Indonesia and 3 years under Portugal

Anyway, I am not going to talk about East Timor today. However, it is something related to this Southeast-Asian country. The arrival of freedom

East Timor was freed eight years ago. Looking at the graduation ceremonies of my school for the past three days, I realized that it is something like freedom. But freedom come with a price

Your daily life will not be restricted by the silly timetable you have. You need not waste >>insert time taken to travel to school multiplied by two<< of your of your day to and from school. No need to torture yourself to wake up early

For everything, there is a price to pay. I am not referring to MasterCard here

Without that silly timetable with awkward timings of lectures and breaks, your daily life would be free. But that means you are required to find something to do if you want to lie on bed at night and recall that it was a productive day worth living

Without having to spent your time commuting, you can use that extra period to do something you like but never had a chance to. However, do you exactly know what should you do?

Being able to sleep until you are satisfied is a luxury. But do take note that oversleeping is harmful to your health. Plus, staying up late at night is even worse. Knowing that the only crucial thing which you need to do the next morning is brushing your teeth (which you can also not do), you would think that it's alright to turn in later

A young boy looks at a working adult on the streets. The adult looks back at the boy. Their minds are filled with opposite thoughts. The boy wants freedom like the adult while the adult longs to be a boy as freedom comes with a price

This is what I would like to talk about today. The End

Oh wait, I forgot to buy a birthday cake for East Timor!
