(no subject)
So at the end of the year, I suppose we're all supposed to write something to commemorate all of the crazy events that has happened. 2009 was just a very, very weird year in general.
And of course, I like to sum it up in one big run-on sentence -
I've lost many friends due to relocating, I've made some new friends, was able to fully financially support myself on my own (until my mom bumped in), sort-of made headway to figuring out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, got promoted in my job twice, moved to a downtown apartment, still haven't figured out how to talk to guys I like, became a lot more happier with who I am, went back to school, learned how to speak up.
My family relationships are getting better. There's always going to be a disinterest between my mom and I mainly because she doesn't understand at all what my life is like, I have to lie to her all the time about it, and at the end of the day we love each other, but don't really care enough to know what's really going on. But I'm fine with that.
Reconnected with my sister - learned how to bite my tongue and take a bullet and just say sorry. However, just general disinterest. I always get so annoyed with people that has close families, especially other Vietnamese families that are close to some extent. That I remember the independence I have and how (even though with a VERY rocky start) I learned on my own how to fully take care of myself from having my parents paying for everything and then zilch - I don't think I would change it either way.
Here's to 2010 -
- don't make promises I can't keep
- be more wary of my health and appearance
- evaluate how I handle my relationships with people
My dad lost control of his business and the government seized most of his assets - I can't help but to shrug - I've been warning him to pay his taxes and fees for years now. I fully cut him out of my life now even though he's been trying to reconnect for the past few weeks, unfortunately for him blood does not mean anything to me.
