The Differences

I live two completely different lives here (as in outside my home), and at home. I think these differences do not make me a bad guy. Let's see the arguments.

First of all, the most obvious gap is my dietary habit. Surprisingly, I have a more balanced and stable diet at home. At home, I eat appropriately and accordingly. I will take my breakfast in the morning, even if it is a light one. Then, it follows by a nutritious lunch. After that, I might be having hi-tea, depending on how heavy my lunch is. Last but not least, I take my dinner at 6 p.m.. Please note that I use the phrase "Last but not least." That means I have no supper at home. On the contrary, I seldom have my breakfast here (excluding events such as exams). This is because by the time I wake up, it is already lunch time. Usually, the first meal of the day would be at 1p.m. or so. This is what I call lunch. After that, I have my dinner at 8 or 9 p.m.. Then, I might be having supper at 1 or 2 a.m.. Wow! This is really a sharp contrast from the one at home.

Besides, my resting time here is indeed different too. Typically, I rest at 2 to 3 a.m.. Then, I wake up at 11a.m. or even 12 noon. At home, I go to bed at 10 to 11 p.m., and I wake up at 7 to 8 a.m.. There is hardly night lives at home.

Equally important, my social life here is different from my home too. I get to go out with my friends regularly here, whereas at home, I go out frequently with my family. There would be a rare occasion seeing me going out with my secondary school classmates. Perhaps, we did not keep in touch regularly and there is nothing to be discussed among us.

Shall I say these differences are detrimental to my life? I would say no. When the environment changes, of course, our lifestyle would change too. The matter here is that we must know our boundaries. Yes, you may stay up late at night outside, with the condition that you are not doing something illegal and harmful to yourself. We must always remember that we have our beloved family waiting for us at home. Therefore, we should try to live our life to the fullest and make good attempts to spice up our lives.
