so my cousin is going to be 24 this year. to say it nicely, she hasn't done shit with her life. i don't think she's even finished high school and she just started going to college like last year or something. i don't know if i talked about this before but she's totally into japanese/korean stuff which is why i don't listen to japanese music anymore. this one time, i had to spend an entire day with her and all we did was like watch korean movies and japanese doramas. we were watching this one performance by rain or something like that and she started singing along to it. that scared the shit out of me and from them on, i stopped listening to japanese music because i didn't want to be like her.
i don't hate her or anything though. i kind of feel sorry for her because she's probably autistic...i don't know. so then a couple of days ago, i found out that her mom basically paid for her to go on a trip to HK because it was such a big accomplishment for their family that she was able to go to college.
what the hell. it's not that i don't think my family treat me well but they would never be THAT nice to me. maybe it's just that i've never really asked my parents for anything or maybe it's because they're used to me just doing things by myself. the other day, i said i wanted to go work at a factory so i can earn money to buy a camera and my mom was like "how about i just buy it for you?" a camera compared to a 10-day trip to HK with all expenses paid is a lot different.
do families usually reward mediocrity? she's made significant progress since i last talked to her because basically...before college she had been sitting around the house for like 5 years.
