Sometimes, I look outside, and I think that a lot of other people have seen this snow before. Just like I think that a lot of other people have read those books before. And listened to those songs. I wonder how they feel tonight.

'93; a reason to keep believing, a reason to live. I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there

an open letter to all parents

Thursday @ 2.2.17

Dear all parents,

I would like to say thank you for bringing us into the world, giving us our name and taking care of us.What you've done for us is a debt no child could ever repay. In saying that, I would like to remind you that we are very dependent on you. How we see life and our attitude towards it is shaped by how you treat other people, us.

We know that life is rough. We know having a family isn't an easy task. We know that you bend over backwards to give us the best. But please, please. Don't fight in front of your child.

It's easy to lose it sometimes and you've been with your partner for so long you bound to get a little mad sometimes but never ever bring your child into your fights. Let alone making them feel like their relationship is their responsibility. It's easy to forget that no matter how old your child is, they would still look up to you. Your actions will still affect them, probably in a bigger way that you can imagine. They don't deserve it. They don't deserve having their lives disturbed, have their mental utterly destroyed by you and your partner's lack of judgement.

Your child maybe blaming themselves. Your child might not be able to trust or open up to someone. They might be traumatised. They don't deserve all that.

I'm in no way saying that you should always protect us from the bad of the world. We're bound to experience that ourselves but that doesn't mean you can put the burden of your relationship on our shoulders. You're our parents. You're supposed to show us how to be a proper adult. How to deal with things with the best way possible and when you lose it you're supposed to be graceful and apologise for your behaviour. You have no idea how much of an impact you have on our lives. We're glad you can confide in us and that you can share your problems with us but there is a line between sharing and teaching a life lesson and just plain traumatising.

Some of us can't trust other people. Some of us are scared shitless of commitments. Some us are numb. Some of us are bitter. Some of us can barely believe that anything can "work out". I'm not saying you're entirely responsible; we've had our shares of disappointments and heartbreaks from others as well. But you mean so much to us we can't helped to be affected.

All we want is for you to show us all the wonderful possibilities of life and how to deal with problems. All we want is your unconditional love and respect.

Sincerely,

Your Child
