Listen to your parents
Sunday, October 21, 2007
Every passing day teaches you something new. When I was young (not that I'm old now, though) my parents are so worried and over-protective of me. They want to know who I hang out with, I cannot bring the friends that they have not met home and they always tell me to be careful in choosing who I am friends with.
I think it is quite strange. Why and how should I choose my friends, why can't I bring friends home, why cant my parents be a little bit friendlier to my friends (it's not like they dont, its more to the friends that they dont know). Obviously, I never listen to them. I am friends with whoever I want because I think I know the best who should I be friends with.
When I moved to New Zealand, and this is when I was in my late teen, they did the same. The same old advice to choose my friend carefully. The fact that they are not here to see my AIESEC friends especially, making it a lot harder for them. As always, I stand by my own principle.
After this morning, I realise what it is meant to "choose your friends" and "don't bring friends home." I realise now how lucky I am to have the friends that I have now. Lucky.
After so many years, I now understand, Mum.
