note: this is
not gonna be one of my usual blog posts with hundreds of pictures. its gonna be more on my
thoughts and
feelings. so if you have the patience, then read on. and this blog post isnt meant to offend anyone (im saying this just in case sensitive idiots get hurt or pissed at certain phrases or words, or whatsoever, thinking that they were directed at them when its clearly not the case)
well i just got home not too long ago, and took a shower before turning my laptop on. and as i was showering, i was thinking of how much daddy has done for me. (and that thought was triggered by the mere fact that he fetched me home after the outing with the girls, which i shall only blog about tomorrow)
you see, the thing is, sometimes we seem to take things for granted. like daddy picking me up from where i am at night, despite the fact that he has work tomorrow, despite the fact that he is sacrificing his "rest" time which is nothing compared to mine now that im enjoying the school holidays. and yet, there are times when i complain about him travelling so often and not bothering to spend more time with/on us. it seems that
we sometimes neglect the positive side of what our parents do for us. and im emphasizing on
we because i dont believe im the only one taking them for granted.
even something as common as nagging for example. most of us probably do get really irritated and all annoyed when our mothers start quacking at us like the world is coming to an end by tomorrow morning. going "you should be studying! dont you know how important your education is? it determines your future!" and they can go on and on what seems forever about how important your future is. exaggerating half, if not majority, of the consequences you face if you dont do this, or dont do that. but why are we getting so fed up, when its all for our own good? okay i know that phrase sounds so cliche, but whatever. question is, why arent we appreciating their good intentions? and i must admit, im guilty of it myself. and once again, it just shows how much we focus on the negative side of what our parents do for us.
and the list goes on, i can give many other examples. like children thinking that their parents arent bothering to spend more time with them when the truth is their parents are working so hard outside to bring in more income for the family, so that their children can lead a better life, one of a higher standard of living. second childs whining about their parents not giving them enough love/attention, compared to their older sibling, when they dont know that their parents are really tired and already trying their best. do you have any idea how much energy is taken up to look after a baby? possibly every other night, the baby cries and disturbs the sleep of both parents. and few years later, another child is born. the whole cycle repeats itself. only difference is, they had countless of sleepless nights before you arrived in this world. yet, they still bother to raise you up. if you dont call that love, i dont know what you call that. (and just another thought: would you rather your sibling "suffers" your fate of "not getting enough love/attention"? seriously, i wouldnt mind sacrificing for my brother. thankfully he doesnt have that problem though)
blahblahblah, there are many more examples in which i could give. so readers, if you agree with me, then start to look at what your parents have done for you (in a positive manner!) and treat them better. i mean, God knows how long more you have the privilege to do so. not that im cursing your parents to die, but everyone on planet earth will have to go some day. its just a matter of time. otherwise, i think there would be an increasing number of ungrateful pricks.
okay im going to end here because it doesnt feel like me blogging. heh goodnight people!
