Sometimes u just feel like giving yourself a break. A break from the cruel and unpleasant reality, thereby retreating into our own world of fantasy where everything inside this world is so perfect and well. The escape actually grant some personal spaces to individual. Some personal time to reflect on ourselves as well as letting one to relax before returing to the real world.
Sometimes i wish i could set up my own place away from my parents just like the children in the western part of the globe. i wish to break free from the control of my parents and gain freedom to what i want to pursue in life. However, do children needs parents to keep them in check so that they would not go astray? i have confidence in myself that i can take care of myself but can my parents take care of themselves. i guess when they reach a certain stage in their lives, they do need the support of their children. It is time for children to fulfil their responsibilities towards their bearer, their "masters"..... if not for their union, there will be no me. Thus no matter how i wish to break free, i cannot run away from the responsibilities i bear on my shoulders. A burden which i hope will not be too heavy to bear by myself.
Guess i am pretty lucky that my parents are still going strong. They are still taking care of us rather than we take care of them. They are always feeding us food instead of us bringing them out to enjoy a sumptous meal. All these i can only say it is our fault. We are too occupied with our own stuff that we neglected the old folks. They only have themselves and a couple of their friends to keep them occupied besides work.
we failed to fulfil that portion of our "jobscope" as children in the family unit.
