You know something funny? Families are supposedly people who support you, right? They are the people you go to when you're at the bottom, right?
Not mine.
My uncle and his wife sold my inheritance to my grandpa, someone who always loved me, which is the reason why I managed to graduate and get my diploma.
The one who supports me when I am struggling to get my diploma and the one paying for it, while my parents do not care about me because they think a diploma is something that is useless.
You know what's even more funny? They dare even to tell me to send money to them because it is my 'duty' to them as their son.
However, I decided to swallow it and try to get close to them. I swallow all my hatred and frustration at their behavior.
Over the past year, various things have happened. I've managed to mend my relationship with my family and achieved my lifelong dream of getting a job. Last year, I even found a girlfriend, and when I thought I was starting my life over, I lost everything in a month.
After learning that I quit my job, my parents decided to disown me because I am useless in their eyes, since I don't have a job. Asian Parent, am I right? Hah! What a joke.
My girlfriend decided to break up with me without any reason. I don't know why. I don't really know. I try my best to be the best boyfriend. I try my best to please her, but it looks like it is not enough.
And the news of my inheritance will be put up for auction if I don't pay the debt my uncle borrowed in the past, which is the last straw.
I couldn't sleep. Each time I close my eyes, I wake up as flashbacks appear in my mind. Sometimes my heart starts pounding out of nowhere, and I start sweating. My life have been miserable lately.
Sometimes I wonder if my life is worth anything.
I am sorry for the long rant. I need this to get out of my chest.
Thank you for listening, my friends.
