balance

you just came in with a bowl of oatmeal because I hardly touched dinner tonight. you told me "we're just worried for you, we want the best for you" for what seemed like the millionth time. I backspaced all the resentful words I was going to post only two minutes ago. don't think that I don't know all that you do for me. I'm thankful for the packed sandwiches, folded clothes, and made bed which most of my friends have to do by themselves. the only thing you ask of me is to "get into a good university". I acknowledge that getting education is for my own benefit and really, I hate it when you're disappointed in me. Whenever I get an A on an assignment, the first thing that goes to mind is how happy you will be when you hear of this. but times like today, you misinterpret what really goes on in my mind. School is most certainly my first priority but we all need a balance. just sometimes, I need a balance too.
