give thanks with a grateful heart

today's lesson that I learnt is about being grateful. being able to cherish the things that you have and the ones that you love when they are around you. that way you would not need to regret what you wish you could have done when they are gone. there is a popular "disease" known as the little prince syndrome. in my own view, i think everyone would have gone through that disease; whether they are rich or poor or just normal. every parent will want their child to grow up happily and healthy.

most of the time children tend to take most things for granted. their mothers cook 3 meals for them every day, wash the laundry, nag at them to do their homework.. etc. even after the children grow up, their parents still worry for them. what kind of job are they going to do. when they are going to get hitched. will their children take them in and look after them. I guess I can say that parents do also have endless worries and troubles, but they just don't speak about it as often compared to a teenager.

yes, i must admit we teenagers complain a hell lot. about anything and everything. sometimes I think we ourselves feel that we are a pain in our own asses but we just don't give a damn.
it's beginning to sound like a lecture again.

I'm just grateful that I have such wonderfully imperfect parents who love me even though I'm not the best daughter. Though sometimes I might have quarrels with them but eventually we will get over it. I know that they will always be there for me. Because they are the only family that I have.
我爱你
