Who are your current most favorite people?

My favorite people .. it would be me. It’s hard to be me, an only child from a tough mother who set a very high standard for herself and passed it onto me. I grew up in a patriarchal culture, where women are being judged relentlessly for everything and yet that very woman should take care of everyone and everything.

After several awkward attempts, I finally have my own family. True, it’s not a regular family, but it’s mine. Raising a son, a husband ( yes.. you read it right) and still living with the tough mother are not the ideal world but it’s my world.

Now I understand how hard it is to be different from my parents. Basically we are the products of our parents and it’s actually near impossible for the products to expect herself to be different from her creator. It’s near impossible but not impossible, I’ll carve the different path, bit by bit, slowly.

I don’t have to be the remedy for my mother’s unfulfilled dream. I have my own dream and it’s a very good life I am dreaming of. I just want to have a quiet life .. that’s all. Not a life full of competition or judgement… So there… I made up my mind.. I’m slowing down now. I’ve never been a highly ambitious person anyway.

Cheers, have a good life my dearest readers,
