(no subject)
So I went to this (usually) awesome Persian restaurant in West LA. Tonight was different. I originally made plans to go with my dad but then I ended up calling my mom to tell her to join us. I thought it'd be peaceful but then my mom had to start an argument with my dad. Out of nowhere. I've haven't experienced this sort of tension between them for years and it brought tears to my eyes. They were fighting over things I found SO TRIVIAL. It was a bit intense. At the same time, I heard a loud screeching from outside (we were sitting by a window). Turns out that a little green VW bug had crashed into some silverish car I couldn't identify. It happened all so quickly. I believe nothing major happened, but it makes you wonder how suddenly everything can occur. Is life worth spending fighting and holding grudges? I believe not. My parents, who have never failed to amaze me with their power of love, for once, were bitter, upset at one another, and could not find a solution to a problem that had gone on over the past weekend. Name calling resulted, which I've NEVER heard on behalf of either party. Whatever happened to love? They were always the ones telling me that love is the key to everything. I'm so overflowing with love, yet now I've lost faith even more so. The two most beautiful examples of this love have resorted to name-calling and constant bickering. They've both said it's difficult without me being home always, but I just wish they'd realize how precious they both are as individuals, especially to me, and to each other like before. I hope they can reconcile this. I hope there's a way for love to survive. They've been overflowing with it for years. I hope this is just a phase and that, at most, my being away is just an obstacle. There is more to this, but I'd rather not explain unless you ask personally... I guess it's important to let people know how much they mean to you every once in a while. When you fail to acknowledge that, things like this often result as people do not feel loved/cared for.
