Drive it like you stole it
I am on my way to Paris and am currently at Bangkok airport for a 9 hour transit.
On the plane, I watched this movie called Sing Street.
It’s been a while since I’ve felt this much awe towards a single movie.

The second it ended, I just wanted to stand up and applaud to the screen like an idiot. It was just so beautifully portrayed, artistically written and just so freaking RAW.
It's basically a coming of age film, circulating its plot line around these teenagers who have some kind of issue at their homes. Their parents are close to having a divorce, their dads are in rehab,dead...all kinds of problems; but they have one thing in common. They are tired of the situation they're put in and they want out.
In order to step out of the repetitive loop that somehow everybody in the neighborhood is in, the kids decide to form a band, and eventually try to make it big.

The way these kids dreamed and questioned the current situation around them made me question what I was doing with my 青春 (Blue Spring Days).
The time when I found blood on my pants for the first time asking my mom what I should do. The times where I couldn't figure out who I was or who my real friends were because popularity and image seemed to exceed the actual importance of it. The times where I would be sad and find a Van Gogh artwork, and feel so immaturely but purely attached to it.

Those days and that ME isn't coming back.
I just want to ask myself if I was able to live those days without any regrets.
But then, my mind wakes up to the fact that I am 23 and heck there's a lot more I can be doing about my life and a lot less worrying.

20 years from now, 30 years from now, when we die, it’s not going to matter what company we went to, how much money we made, how many times we were able to buy dinner for somebody,
it’s going to be about how many times we said yes to a wild thought, how many times we travelled to see the world, how much love we were able to share to another person,
