The Rose Petals and It's Thorns

It's silly when someone starts to think about something that is rarely thought by others and suddenly it became an issue. Ever wondered why we only see people happy and rarely see them sad? Only certain people see the ugly side of things. No, they aren't pessimist. They're just being concern. Haha, big fat liar. Okay, let's begin. You see a very bright student scores in her studies and every school activities. Sorry, I'm being a sexist here. Proceed. She joins every competitions. She involves in all the school activities and yet, she managed to get straight A's in her examinations. The entire school knows her and she is loved and envied by everyone. From what we see, she must be very happy in achieving the Best Student Award. We want to be like her. Very successful. Her parents must love her so much. She probably can get everything that she wants. But what if she's not happy with her life? What if she is forced by her parents to get everything that her parents want and not her wish? Surely, she's not happy to do all that kan? But, she has to because she's being forced and because she can't decide what's the best for herself just because she's being tied to the best student in school whatever bullshit it is. Poor little girl.

We see a mother, a housewife who is very loving and caring. She takes a very good care of her family. She cooks everyday, she cleans the house, she has to do the laundries without complaining. She's very patient. She seems to be very happy doing all the chores. That is what we see. What if she feels very tired to do all that. Yeah, that's her responsibility but she needs breaks too. She needs her own time too. What if deep down inside, she feels sad to do the same thing every single day. She hopes her children can lend a helping hand but they don't. They let their mother do everything for them. And what if this lady wants a family vacation? She wants to spend time with her husband. What if her husband is too busy with work and that makes her feel that they're falling apart. Women have a very very very very very soft heart. What if actually she's not happy with her life but she has to pretend so because she loves her family. Poor mother.

We see a father works very hard for the family. But still, he has time to spend with his family. He works very very very hard because he wants nothing but the best for the family. He loves his family so much. He would do anything for the family. Even if he has to go out of the country, the first thing on his mind is his family. He knows that they're actually worry about him so he has to pretend that everything is fine although the truth is he has to attend meetings here and there. He has no time for meal. He has to pretend that his job is not torturing even deep inside, he wants to quit. But he can't because the love for his family. He can quit his job if he wants to but he wants to show to his children that there's no such thing as giving up. Problems can be solved. Nothing is easy but we have to keep on trying. Don't look back and don't give up. Poor father has to stand with all the hassles at the office just because he wants the best for the family.

I don't have any specific reasons why I'm posting this. The sun shines so brightly outside. Mom just went out with her friends. Adik-adik are at school. Abah is somewhere in Seberang Jaya. Mai is at her lab, Elina is at her shoes store, Keyla must be at home dealing with her PMS. I'm bored and cheers!
