After having thought of what to write, i figured out that it's easier to write about myself. So this week's theme for me is 'Autobiography'. However, i am going to write about my family and dedicate this to them and perhaps rant about it as well. Nowadays, kids have all this complains about their family and hated their family for it. Ironically, it reminds me of myself back when i was younger. Even now, i would complain about them and find a way to avoid conversation with them. However, no matter how hard i try, i can't change the fact i love them.
I have a family of five that consist of my Dad, Mum, Brother, Sister and finally me. I am the youngest among us three children. A lot of people might be jealous of me because i am the youngest. What difference does it make if i am the youngest? I believe every parents are fair when it comes to treatment and care for their children, just different method.
I felt stupid when i thought back on how i always wanted to be in my friend's family, saying how great theirs are and comparing them to mine but not anymore. I have found enough reasons to stick with my family and whole lot more to love them. Hell, do i even need reasons?
I really want to know why you would even start to hate your family? Because they nag at you? Because they scold you for a reason not known to you? And you even thought of running away from home after you got money. I just got off a conversation with a friend of mine who's only twelve years old. She said she plan to leave home after she got enough money just because her family ask her to stop playing the computer. Yes, that was the exact same thinking i have back when i was around her age. Thinking my family just scold me for no reason and always hating on me. Thinking they love my brother and sister more than me.
There's not much to teach you how to love your family. It's up to oneself to do that. I have learned to love them and know the meaning behind their words. Seriously, their nagging and scolding are for our own good. Do you think they wanted to scold you? There's a saying in Chinese that goes,''Parents eat more salt than you eating rice''. It actually means that they have more experience than we do and that we should listen to their advise. If you're still having a hard time digesting my words, try putting yourselves in their shoes. What would you do when you have children? These are the words that came from my parents. Try asking anyone older than you whether they love their family and listen to their answer.
Don't blame them for being overprotective but blame them for loving you too much - Carl Cheong
This is a quote that i live by and i hope it helps you too. Especially when it is Mother's Day today, go hug your mum and your family, tell them how much you love them. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all mothers out there but sorry, i will have to put my Mum first.
