i hate asian parents
they should mind their own businesses
they think we all lie, constantly.
and we're too young to have our own relationships.
well sorry because its too late and we should be given a chance to do what we want from time to time too.
we want to be heard, and we want someone to listen. anyone.
if only parents weren't so judgemental, paranoid and stubborn in their ways and opinions; then maybe we might be able to do things our way.
the adolescent way.
where we do what we freely want to do, no more pressure, we will try what we want to try. we will be free from constant nagging and their 'trying to help us'.
we do feel the need to have them there, but what is the point of them helping if they're suffocating us?
rupturing our free lives as they like.
do they realise we would be happier if things were left to the way we wanted it? do they realise that we do understand the consequences? do they realise that they ruin us slowly by restricting us from 'what they believe', their expectations and their 'experiences'?
yes they have experience, but shouldn't life be experienced and mistakes be made by us also?
they can try to protect us from ourselves, but they cannot protect us from life itself.
we want to live our lives.
we want freedom.
give us freedom.
free speech, we want to be listened to.
i want to manage my own study without you having to tell me
i want to graduate year 12 without having you tell me i'm stupid. that i'm incapable of doing things myself, incapable of thinking, incapable of school
i want to come and go as i please without having to ask your permission for everything
i want to feel euphoric without you telling me i should do something useful
i want to experience things without you saying i'll make the same mistakes
i want to manage my own relationships without you telling me that it is useless and ruin my future
i want to believe in you listening to what i say.
i want you to believe in me, too.
