Comfy… nah!
Aren’t our home suppose to be the most comfortable place on earth? A place where you can be who you are, at ease and no discomforts, no pretensions and full of harmony. It’s a pity but most of the time I feel like I don’t belong in my own humble abode. It is so freaking hearth-crushing to feel alien in your own home. I am so fed up. I am not living a healthy life.
It’s like there is a cold-war going on between me and UJ. We are not in talking-terms, just hi and Hello in the morning and that’s it. We are not communicating very well for different reasons:
He is near-deaf (I really need to yell at him before he could understand what I am saying) and I cannot talk to him like that every day. I will not and will never adjust for him. Why? He is just so narrow-minded. Is it my fault that I cannot stand having a conversation with him? What is his problem? He is getting old by the numbers but deteriorating by the mind. But before you judge him, he is quite okay. He is not that bad. I guess we are just two different people trying to co-exist but can’t really find a way to do it. Now I know relationship with other people can be so difficult and complex.
Another thing is he’s not a Filipino. Yes he is a foreigner (Belgian), with different cultural background, different ways and different mind set. There is always a culture-clash. Europeans are more aggressive and has an intense personality whereas Filipinos have a mild, mellow and laidback behavior. It is true they are dominant but doesn’t necessarily mean we are inferior. Pinoy ako, pinoy tayo, ipakita sa mundo, kung ano ang kaya mo… hehehe
Age gap!??! Yeah I guess old people are having difficulties understanding the new generation. Society is evolving and so are the people. The ways and norms before (but not all) are obsolete and not applicable in today’s way of life. This is the 21st century for Christ sake!
Patience and understanding… Yes, that’s what I need, and lots of it.
