How long has it been that my parents hav asked me this? It's been too long. For so many days this week, I am confronted with my parents' accusations that I don't care about their well-being anymore and that I never imagine their position, never imagine anything besides my own self. I was delusional. I thought I could really avoid this confrontation for maybe till a time that I have grown older and wiser.The irony is how can someone possibly grow wiser if they do not confront with their own flaws?
Nonetheless, the fact is I cannot handle this confrontation, I cannot admit this underlying alienness that I have felt with my parents for so long, almost too long for me to remember. A person must be very cold-hearted not to feel close to the people who are probably the only ones to give him/her unconditional love. Am I cold-blooded then? I would hate to be.
I don't know how to mend this relationship, I realli don't. I want to care, I swear I do but it's so so hard. Things have happened in my family and I realli do want to just forgive, all I want is to forgive but my heart and maybe an underlying hate won't let me, it won't let me. That's what good people do, they forgive but I've tried and tried and now, the illusion that I have forgave is finally showing me the cruel reality - I am still holding a burden of grudges, trapped in the unsettling sesaw of love and hate. I cannot handle this. I simply cannot.
You don't know how hard it is to love and care for someone with this background of uncontrollable anger. Why does good always triumph in movies? It simply doesnt exist in my life right now. I refused this anger and pain to dictate me but it just drifts back and haunts me, now I am left on this directionless swing that does not swing backwards and forwards but rather, clockwise going on and on. I fail to show I care because I simply cant erase my memories, oh no I can't.
And how many times hav they asked me about my well-being, no not my study, not my work, not my piano but me? The answer purely shows the irony in their accusation. Maybe I fail to care because they took love for granted, thinking that after they abused it, everything would still be ok. It's not.
