'End of the World' seems so different every time

It's the end of the year, Average Joe switching into a reflective mode...

I remember when I was in primary school, I used to think it's the 'End of The World' if I can't finish my home work,forgot to bring my textbook or comic confiscated by teacher.

After graduating from primary school and entering the next phase, these things doesn't seem to matter anymore. Time with friends, curfew, failing exams and tests or broke something damn expensive seem to be my "new" 'End of The World'. Would be in panic mood, thinking, pondering and losing sleep over these matters. It seems like "that's it! It the end of the world for me!" Flipping over bed all night, thinking of all the possible consequences and damages.

But now, looking back these things doesn't really matter.

Now after completing the education phase in my life, things that might caused me to feel 'End of The World' are totally different. But sometimes these things still cause me some sleepless nights and anxiety rush.

But realising that maybe after a few years down the road, when I'm more of a veteran, these things that caused me to feel that the world is collapsing; that it's "the End of The World" might be some small that I will laugh at myself for losing sleep over it.

Funny how the world seems to be ending every time but for different reasons; making the previous reason so insignificant to even cause a dent in the world.
