A reminder from "us" to our parents. . .
We appreciate what you do for us but please be sensitive enough to our emotions. We know that almost every single thing you do is for our own good but TRUST US (yep, that won't hurt sometimes, will it?), like you, we also get hurt, tired, and burdened. We also get hot-headed due to our OWN PERSONAL PROBLEMS. And unfortunately, we also have hormonal imbalances. IN SHORT, WE HAVE THIS THING CALLED "FEELINGS".
Recall those times when you ask us to understand you whenever you're in the middle of those circumstances I mentioned earlier and consequently, you just expect us to be considerate enough to adjust to your needs and demands that somehow require us to exert extra effort, in one way or another. HONESTLY, WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, NOT EVEN A TEENY, TINY ONE. What we're trying to say is that we, including you and the whole mankind, can only imagine what other people are thinking and feeling. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THAT. Surprisingly, this concept also applies to your relatives and even those whom are very close to you. YOU CAN NEVER REALLY GAUGE THE EXACT FEELINGS OF A CERTAIN PERSON UNLESS YOU BECOME THAT PERSON.
To clarify things, I just wanted to suggest that what we should do is to RESPECT and HELP each other. Simple questions like "Kumusta ka na, anak/Ma/Pa? (How are you, my child/Mom/Dad?)" or "May problema ka ba? Kaya mo pa ba? Anong gusto mo? Tara! Usap tayo! (Do you have any problems? Is there anything that we can do for you? C'mon! Let's talk!)" can really go a long way. Also, let's not always be pessimistic and paranoid. Let's avoid that jumping-into-conclusion attitude that complicates things a lot. LET'S LEARN HOW TO ASK. In that way, we can show consideration and deep concern to each other.
As we grow older, we [must] build our own identity; from simple things like planning timetables up to the big ones like pursuing a certain field. Remember that the leveling of our responsibilities is directly proportional to our age during this phase of our lives and there are times that we encounter several problems in holding responsibilities but we cannot share those kinds of stuff to you because we're just sooooooooo intimidated by you. Please know that all we need is for you to meet us halfway because honestly, we're trying our best to the same to you and your rules. Yes, you're right, we may still be young to understand all the things you're saying to us that's why we need your guidance. We need your guidance so that we can reach our dreams successfully with earned decent moral values. Just always know that some of the things you think is good for us might act as a hindrance to our self-improvement.
LET US REACH EACH OTHER OUT AND TRY TO PUT OURSELVES IN EACH OTHER'S SHOES and then we will see the improvement that will happen to the both of us.
As we shout this out to you, may you have the time to ponder on this! Thank you so much, parents! We love you! *insert hugs and kisses here*
