As an infant, we rely on parents - to feed us, to love us. What they give is what we will be one day.
As a teenager, we can't wait to detach from them. Friends and romance are the only thing we treasure. To be independant, to get rid of their shadow, to experience, to explore as much as possible. Never a moment, we think of family.
As a late 20 girl, most are desperate for own family. Addict to love and blindly believe in it. But the effort we put in relationship and career gets us wounds and insecurity. When we need to recover and recharge, it's the first time we find the value of family.
Now it's my early 30. Health issue comes up more and more frequently. All in a sudden, I remember everytime I was in hospital, and everytime I became so weak, they were there giving everything of themselves. It's the family that's always silently support. It's the parents who always care too much for us. It's them who never give us up even after big fights. It's them we never invest but get exceeding returns.
Then I realize things I am proud of myself, are all came from what they give when I was an infant. The person I am today, is what they invest on me for all these years. I never give a damn to invest on them. Well, they did! Otherwise, what would I be today...
The sitcom I watched tonight, a father is really angry with her daughter. The daughter told her friend that, without her dad, she has no backup and support emotionally and she doesn't know how to live anymore. So many times, when I am weak emotionally, or when I am upset at workplace, or I get stuck in life, I know they are there at my back. They are in my team, supporting every decision I made. I am not alone for problems. When I have no confidence, I know in the world, there are someone thinking I am the best. Believing I can do it. And so proud of me. It is why I can hang on and laugh back.
