angsty is the new emo

before i start, i have to clarify that i am still proud to be an asian

but in every culture, there are traits you embrace and traits you never make sense of it

asians, in particular chinese, somehow have the knack of bringing people down

stingy with praises

quick at criticism

impatient to protecting their "face"

its sad (and morbid i know) to think that if given a choice

i would think that a good friend of mine, instead of my family,

will be able to give a more accurate account of who i really am

at my funeral.

and things said may be things that may surprise my parents

because they are probably things that they never tried to understand

and with this said, i'm actually even hoping that they will ultimately understand when i die

they have to stop seeing me as a brainless combination of different characters

I AM ONE PERSON

I HAVE MY OWN MIND

I AM UNIQUE

I AM YOUR FREAKING DAUGHTER

don't be too quick to judge

don't put your expectations on others

understand others with an open heart and mind

only in this way will one be able to embrace a person the way he is

and for all you know

you may be pleasantly surprised

nice things should happen everyday

if they don't

make it happen!
