Well...Imagine.
...Now that I look at how I am doing in a situation like mine, I guess I can safely say that I've matured quite a bit since i was...You know, 16 or so...
...Because if such things were happening then, I certainly would have been depressed all over again.
Instead, I think I feel...a bit fazed. Angry. Angry at the fact that I am under an enormous amount of pressure to abide by my parents desires, and they are hardly helping me with it.
...Then, if I am unable to fulfill these desires, which, again...are not mine, I get the punishment.
...
Things could be so much worse. At least my marriage is not arranged, too. It's only a matter of time. >_>

Date: 2008-01-04 04:47 am (UTC)One must think that having them is so much better than the alternative... though it's easy to forget sometimes. ^^; As for marriage, or any other life path for that matter, it takes so much more than 'arrangement'. Heh... it took forever for my mother to accept that I might go out with someone she hadn't thoroughly investigated first. Pressure from society to parents to people like us... it skews the whole process unless one or more people involved have the backbone to tell society to go hang if necessary, because these things happen in their own time and in their own way, if they are to be handled for the best.
*/rant*..gah, I wish I could get on AIM. As the Fifth Doctor said to Tegan, brave heart.
