Family Issues

Holiday was over and so did the vacation to Cameron highland. Semester 1 wasn't easy at all, too much reading to my liking. Finally, results for 3 subjects were out. Managed to pass all 3 hopefully the last one will be fine as well.

Recently I had arguments with family. Since I don't like arguments we should call it "Family Meetings" instead. It was embarrassing and I cried. Anyhow, this is how it goes, every members in the family are expected to contribute in the family business. Between working and studying me and my 3rd sis have to juggle to balance both commitments. It is getting hard when they decided to cut our salary seeing the financial instability of the company. Other than that, we have family issues among ourselves. For obvious reasons, I am gay and there are some reservations on sharing feelings with the family. I had committed to the family all this while, at least that was what I thought yet my mom complained.

Things had never been easy...and that's the case for everyone as well (fact of life). I admit that I am no good in showing my feelings. It is not the matter of effort and somehow it should be natural. Last Sunday, I spent the whole day with family on shopping groceries, conquering the Isetan sales and dinner with relatives. I am dating my family and forgotten about all my friends. Some of them are used to that and some said I am unreachable. I am sorry :(

  2. Take it easy buddy. Don't be too hard on yourself. I m sure all your friends understand the predicament you are in.

    I hope things will turn out better in the coming weeks. All the best.
