I was a woman with a perfect personality, they say. They say that I am a good daughter to my mother and father, that I’m a good sister to my siblings, that I’m a good friend. That I don’t have any reason to be sad about, but no.. my life is like a house without any person inside, so dark and always locked up.
I am always hiding myself because hiding is what I live for, hiding who am I is what they wanted me to do and I thought that everything that my parents says is only to protect me and to guide me to the right path.
Until I realized, hiding my true self is not to protect me, limiting my actions is also not to protect me, because NOW? i know that there’s a big difference between being protect and being controlled.
I want everyone to know who I really was.. so step by step, I did what I wanted to do.
I travel not so far, I eat to my first restaurant, I eat a good that I never eaten before, I talk to my friends with honesty and I did my first ever sleep over, small thing right? but at least I felt that I am a human too. That I can do this. That I can reach my dream.
Parents, is the most precious for us, second to God. And what they say is only to protect us, but also.. parents shouldn’t limiting their children, because opportunities is everywhere and limiting them will make them passed by the opportunities.
It’s okay to protect, it’s okay to be guide sometimes by our parents but too much is always not good. Protect them, guide them but do not control them, and accept them for who really she or he was, because only parents could give the best encouragement that a daughter and son would appreciate the most.
