Parents
Hey
So here's a post about how I'm barely alive living with my parents.
So I'm 19 this year and I'm in my second year of university. Naturally I'm living with my parents since I can't afford to live on my own.
"What do you mean?" people say, "Living with your parents is what that's KEEPING you alive"
True that. But its actually killing my soul inside.
I really love my parents, I really do. Who doesn't? Even orphaned kids often think of their parents, wondering who they may be, or even abusive parents or parents that abandon their kids, whose kids still would occasionally think what their parents would think of them, when they succeed in life and all that. I know, I've watched Annie.
But being Asian, I have typical Asian parents, who expects a daughter with straight A's, fluent in all languages, musically inclined, a good cook, independent and smart. Well, as a good and filial daughter I try my best in pleasing them, but somehow, they are never satisfied. Honestly, compared to my brother, I think I'm a major success, and that the Asian gene is strong in me; I score well in Maths, keep my grades up, I'm even studying to become an engineer, which heck that's so totally a typical Asian major.
Parents, they are never satisfied, score A's, they think you can do much better. I try being communicative with them and actually telling them about my life, but no, I get shoot down in every aspect, about how my behaviour in life in wrong. For example, I tell them how I am talkative in piano classes, and that the rest of my classmates don't talk that much, their immediate answer would be, why aren't you listening and paying attention in class, don't be talkative, and practise more piano.
Okay.
They are soul sapping aliens. SORRY MOM AND DAD, but yea, how do you guys expect me to have a life? If I do live up to your standards, I would be just a drone. Why don't you just go ahead and build your own perfect child if that's the case.
SO, being at home, I would just keep my silence and keep my head down. I think that's the cause for like 90% of my socializing problems. Thanks mom and dad. I'm a loner and have practically ZERO friends, but at least I have good grades right, that would so be totally useful in my future where I die alone in my mansion playing with all my cool games and gadgets whereas my ovaries shrivel and die.
See my point now. Maybe its just my family.
Oh anyway saw this video from Emma Blackery which kinda motivated me to write all these.

Oh and I watched Edge of Tomorrow today, and it was awesome. Awesome storyline, nothing hooks me like a good storyline. Though there were a few loopholes. Tom Cruise is still so handsome for his age, damn I want a husband like him that won't age, like when I'm 70 my husband would still be gorgeous looking like 20.
OOOOOOOOH when I earn my big bucks and have my mansion, I could totally afford a 20 year old husband when I'm 70. A REAL 20 year old, and not some 60 year old that only LOOKS like a 20 year old. YEEHAA am totally motivated to study now. My parents mean well.
