I came across your posts arbitrarily, and I have to say I like your candid view on life and the world. Especially what you described in this particular post, old as it may, I inexplicably share the very same thoughts.

Perhaps it’s because I come from a broken family as well that I can’t help but develop a little cynical take on life. In fact, my family is probably one of the most dysfunctional ones ever existing on earth that I find myself writing similar, yet much darker “letters to myself”. And depression is just another icing on the stale cake that is, sadly, my life.

Anyway, I like your blogs and I appreciate your thoughts. To be honest, I hardly know any Indonesians that are like you. Most just try to be cool and show off in their blogs. And that kind of shallowness just doesn’t interest me at all.

Mellie, thank you for the compliment. I’m glad someone appreciates this post, I think most people just don’t get it but I’m glad you do. Dysfunctional families can be a bitch, sometimes they can really do our heads in, but they make us stronger in the long run and also make us learn what NOT to do when it’s time to form our own families. I hope life will treat you better, chin up and don’t be a stranger girl!
