raising me

You wouldn’t want to be in my shoes now. The year is ending and I’m still lost. hehe. The relatives are nagging and pushing me to go somewhere. That is the reason why I do not want to sit around where the relatives are. Because if I do, in half a minute I will be in the hot seat. Technically, they talk about my future, my wrong decisions, and even my weight management in front of me. Backbiting is not common in our family; Instead, they say it indirectly: to your face.  

The parents do not talk to me about it. They definitely do not tell the relatives that putting me on the right track is more difficult than climbing the Everest. They keep silent and insert short comments when talking about the “FUTURE”. They used to talk about it all the time but I guess the parents are getting tired of reminding me of how I should take care of my own future.

The parents are not business gurus where money gush like rivers. Someday, you will realize that everything you want could not be given to you. At least you had the chance to have everything.

(They would say, with a smile)

True. I never realized sarcasm was this effective.
