Sometimes it is better not to know what's on other people's mind. Because once you know, you can never stop thinking about it.
Easier said that done. I can say I don't care but I keep having thoughts about it.
"Oh no, I feel bad"
"Oh no, what are they gonna do"
"Oh no, I am doomed"
...
Until one day, I gave up.
I seriously can't be bothered by their complains. I wasn't brought up by my parents to serve you. You can complain all you want but I am who I am. Sometimes I seriously feel like shouting at them. You have no right to treat me that way because my world does not evolve around you. You are just a small piece of land on my planet. Why I give last minute notices? Well, frankly, if you have been listening to what I've said all this while, then you would have known that I mentioned it to you at least 2 months ago. And, just so you know, I KNEW their reaction would be like that and that's why I chose to tell you AFTER my exams instead of before or during the exam week.
I came back to help because I respect the family. I didnt come back because I miss the kids. I am very happy with my new life in the house. Laughing day and night. Enjoying the me-time. I'm spending three days and two nights back here. I won't say I wasted my time because I know I am being useful by be able to help the family. But I just don't like how I am being treated like a scumbag by the cousins. I wish they'd be more polite. They want me to be around but they don't freaking respect me or listen to me. She said "who are you to order us around? You are not our mother, we can do anything we want, this is OUR house, not yours!" It was so hard to hold back what I wanted to yell in her face. I nearly - I mean I opened my mouth but shut it straight away - threw swear words in her face. I mean, Hello?! I am 10 years older than you, can you at least respect my presence? Since you don't appreciate it, why are you asking me to come back? WHY?!
Why do I still have to face these kind of situations, I really don't get it. I was taught to never ever ruin any relationship be it to a friend or a family member because things happen, one day you might regret all these silly arguments. I hope I've served my purpose here these three days and that I can go home tomorrow. I really dont feel like staying here till Sunday. *sigh!*
