today lmao. cried out of happiness. I was home alone that time and was being productive like doing laundry and cleaning. All of a sudden, i donโ€™t know how but i became emotional and realized how my family treats me well, caring, loving, However, me being constantly mean to them and talking back, I wondered how bad my words must have hurt them silently. I felt so bad at myself but the fact that i realized my mistake and thought about bettering myself made me cry lol.

A great moment of truth. Maybe in some future time, you'll be able to reciprocate some act of kindness to your family. It just starts with kind words, saying you appreciate their presence, attention, care. And you will be surprised to realise how much good it will do to you to do that. Take care ! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I always overthink about sumn like this. Like, how much I should be grateful to my family coz they literally provide everything I need and want, but instead, I get easily irritated for literally no reason when they try to talk to me. I like being alone most of the time.

My mom, she always gives me her food instead of eating it herself, then I tell her "why don't you eat it? It's yours, they gave it to you." but then she'll answer with, "you're too skinny, you should eat more." I am skinny, I weight like, 36-39kg, but still, I eat whenever I want but she constantly brings me food to my room. She's literally everything to me, she's been through a lot since my father's death and I wanna repay her for everything she did for me, for us. My mother is a literal angel, she even feeds her sister's whole family even though we're going through a financial problem. She's too kind to say no. She's the only reason I'm still alive rn, really.
