Last Friday I got to watch my childhood movie: The Matrix.

I remember watching this movie when I was 13 years old. Back then I was naïve and young. I thought how Keanu Reeve’s hair was weird and disgusted by the skin drilling scene.

When I watched the movie again, I remember being so bizarre. Primitive CG, awkward her act, awkward storyline and etc.

However, I feel like the Matrix reflects on how I have been receiving a daily dose of the blue pill. Back when I was a child when I lived in world of imagination. When watching a bizarre movie like the matrix or spirited away, I never judged how ‘real’ it was. However, as time went by, when I had the chance to take the red pill through books, movies, and etc, I always prioritize reality questioning everything in the imaginative world.

I feel like the matrix made me rethink about myself and how I see my world. One thing I realized is that in order for me to survive the world I am in right now, I have to keep my head in reality. Rather than choice, I am fed with the blue pill. Will there be one day I will be able to have a choice of my own? Because red pill sounds so nice…. Running away from reality.
