Something about me is that i told myself to cherish and be overly grateful for my parents. Let them know that i appreciate them and love them with all my heart. Because i don't want a moment to go by unrecognized? Idk. I don't want to all grown up and look back into my life and wish that i did things differently with them. Do you know what i mean? I want to be able to look back and know that they were aware of my love for them and that i did a lot for them. I guess no matter what, because i'm a teenager, i'll always be making mistakes to wrong them somehow. So no matter what, i'll always look back and wish i did things differently. From spending more time with them, showing them that i love them more, helping them out more, or being a better me to make them happy.
So i try to do what i can. I think about my mom a lot. She's always in my mind. I never want to make her upset because when i do, i just feel so disappointed in myself. Because whenever i make her upset, i know that it's because i'm not keeping her in mind. When i make her upset, it's usually over things that she doesn't let me do. It's the young girl with in me that just simply doesn't want to be treated like a kid anymore. It's the young girl in me that wants to be let free...because i'm growing up. I'm not the type of child that angers my parents often. It's only once in a while that it would happen. I mean i could get annoyed of her. But my mom and i never really fight. We don't usually argue with each other or yell at one another. My mom and i are very alike though. We're very sensitive to things. I make sure that every time i have a chance, i'll tell her i love her. Whether she accepts it or not. I'll give her a kiss and hug her. Because at one point in my life, as i was growing out of my little little girl stage of life, i stopped doing that. I stopped coming into her room each night before bed and giving her and my dad a kiss and telling them goodnight. I stopped going out with them because i guess i felt like i'm too old for that. Then eventually...i grew out of the "i'm too old for that" and started doing it again. I'd hold my mom when we go out, let her know i appreciate her because you're never too old for that. I just want to make my parents happy and i don't want to disappoint them because when i upset them i feel like i failed some how, and that's quite upsetting to me...
I show all this love to my mom as much as i can. My problem is, no matter how much i want to show the same amount of love to my dad, i just can't. I don't know why. Well, i guess because we just can't connect. He also doesn't understand much. I'm not even sure if he even cares whats going on in my life. It makes me so sad that i can't share anything with him. It makes me sad that i'd actually sit around and think sometimes that his thoughts of me don't matter because i don't interact with him...that maybe he doesn't care much about me. Then sometimes i'd sit and observe my parents while they're at the dinner table or something and i'd look at my dad and i'd just see such sweetness in him as i do with my mom. Such joy and love in his eyes. And i see that he does care about his kids, its us that doesn't give him the chance to care. Out of all my siblings, i'm the one that talks to him the least. My brother doesn't talk to him much either, and nor does my sister, but they still can talk to him whenever they want. I don't know why i can't. I just can't. I find my dad to be so full of life...and love. Even if he doesn't show it. I love that he's just so...him. I don't know. I wish i could show him that i love him more. I wish it was as easy to let him know as it is with my mom. Because i fucking know that when i grow up and look back, this will be the one thing that i'll regret the most. And i'll really hate myself for not doing things differently with him. I already do hate myself for not doing things differently with him....but i don't even know how i can change this.
I didn't even let him know Happy Father's day this year...my family didn't even celebrate it. I feel like my family doesn't really appreciate my father as much as we should. Like i don't see the appreciation at all. I don't see the gratefulness or anything. He's done so much for me, and i can't even show him how much i'm grateful for him. I feel like we underestimate what he's capable of. He has such a big heart, and is so kind. He does things for everyone, and wants the best for all of us, and i feel like my siblings and i don't realize it as much as we should...
I feel sad for him, cause i wonder how he feels about this...
I love my dad...i hope he knows that.
