One of those days.

there is so much hurt in this world brought about by the need to measure your status in society against those who have more/less than you. money & possessions are (in my opinion) causes for a lot of what makes people so blind to the true nature of life. that is love, family and creating those special shared moments together.

it is a harsh reality to have to face as we grow older. but try maybe to take stock of have that matters to you. not the things themselves, but what they represent. maybe, when the time is right, try making an effort to remind your father of a special moment between the two of you. write a poem or make a little origami figure for him. hopefully, he will see it as an act of love from his daughter, and the problems that plague him for which he takes out on you, will dissolve away… if only for a moment.

don’t be afraid to express your concerns. the things that bother you will eventually drown your heart if left unspoken.
