You.
“You should get more work experiences while you’re still young.”
Well, I don’t feel young. The more I put more thought into working for someone else – again – the older and more incapable I feel of my life. Another stupid job-hunting process. Another stupid psycho-test to go through. Another stupid replaceable position filled with mindless useless meetings and middle-aged idiots wanting their asses to be worshiped.
“You must be a better leader than me, otherwise what would happen to my business?”
Gee, thanks. Didn’t realize all those years I spent overseas were meant as hidden investment which I must pay back later. Don’t you think I have my own passion to pursue? Wasn’t it you who taught me to be a good decision-maker and to do what I love doing? Then why are you making your mind up for me?
“I always sacrifice everything for everybody else! I never even care about myself! And this is how you repay me?”
I never wanted you not to not care about yourself. I’m actually getting sick of you trying to make fuss on everything else but ignoring your own happiness. Why bother owning a company and everything if you can’t even spare some thought into giving something back to yourself?
“I have all these assets worth millions and money to circulate. I’m delaying payments for legitimate reasons. You must understand.”
No, I don’t understand. All you talk about is money, money, money and how you have to invest in this and that and circulate it this way and that, in order to get even more money. I’m sick of hearing about it. The more you get, the more dissatisfied you feel. I wonder how you even sleep at nights. And then I realized that you don’t.
“I think that cousin of yours is smart for nailing such a rich boyfriend who owns so many companies. She will never live in hardship.”
Yes, she is smart, because she realizes head on that all she has is her looks and there is nothing left inside that empty little head of hers. Yes, she will never live in hardship, but in case you forget, money doesn’t buy happiness. Don’t forget that you were once poor yourself. Why get on such high horse and think that you are so different from those who are beneath you?
“The reason why parents always take sides on the child who is less fortunate is because they know that child needs more help than the others.”
Please, by all means, spoil that child with every single strength that you can find. After all, that’s how it has always been since I was young. But don’t expect that spoilt brat would have an epiphany and change for the better – because the only person who is ruining his future and mentality, is you.
“Why don’t you help around here and expand my business like many other young ones who’ve made their parents proud by doing so.”
No, thank you. Why would I want to work for a person who doesn’t ever listen and trust my ideas. I’ve been through it before and it’s the most tiring job in the world – trying to convince people that you are capable. You either believe it or you don’t. It’s not that hard. After all, didn’t you pride yourself in ‘knowing’ people’s talents and characters? That’s why you sent me overseas, wasn’t it? I don’t even care whether or not you are proud of me. Not anymore.
You. The one who is standing on top – I’m scared that you might fall, and I wouldn’t want to be there to catch you.
Because I don’t know you anymore.
