I just watched the series of MTV Wonder Girls, a documentary made to document all the Wonder Girls' activities before and after their debute.
It was funny watching them being afraid and not confident. Yet, people around them looked at their potential and looked forward that they would be a great girl band. JYP, their producer, also had a high expectations for them that he had planned for their tour to Japan, China, and USA. They seemed to doubt it. But, now, look at them, the best Asian band and expanding to USA. They're now famous all over the world through the internet and become one of the most expensive Asian artists. Their hard work for years were not futile.
But, what interests me is SunMi's reaction when JYP was explaining about how hard it is to go into the world. SunMi cried. She was asked what is her dream? To be the world's best. JYP then explained how hard it is to achieve that. She has to work and practice for a whole days, sleep just for a few hours, and so on. She can not do whatever she want to. So, she has to choose another way to keep moving on.
It was kinda hit me. I just experienced it 2 weeks ago. When my dreams were like crumbling. I was almost giving up my dreams. My mom just said that I MUST go to college in Indonesia (tho she changed her decision later). I was like: DANG!! I had planned it all! My college. What job I would find. The salary I would get. Saving money and travel. And so on..... and she said that right away. What should I do now in Indonesia? I haven't found my specific major and college yet. hmmmmphh.....
I cried. Angry to my mom and grieving myself to be not able to reach my dreams I'd dreamed of for years. I couldn't calm myself down until I said to myself: I WON'T LOSE MY DREAMS. So, I tried to find alternatives right away just like what JYP said and finally found what I'm interested in. Tho I haven't be sure of it yet. At least I have some alternatives :p
Life is hard. I am just 17 years old but I can say this already. I can't imagine what it will be like in the future 10 years later from now. What if I can build a better life than what I have right now? Can I survive? Will I be successful? Can I reach all my dreams? Will I be lonely? Will I have friends in my new society? Can I see my friends again?
Those questions thrill me. But I have my dreams. I'll do everything to reach it. XD
