of relatives
November 18, 2008Posted by edcel in family.
I was browsing through the internet one morning and I was updating all my blogs. When I checked my phone, I got 10 missed calls from my brother. I was a bit worried that something must’ve happened. When I checked his message, he told me that my grandmother and cousins (mother side) were here and that they wanted to see us.
I told them I had classes and that I didn’t want to meet them. With whatever so-sorry-for-an-excuse statement, I tried to escape the reality of facing them. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I don’t owe anything to them but when it comes to family members, I’ve already secluded myself from them and that I’ve established a principle within myself that I don’t need them.
What happened to me? Why did I consume myself in loneliness and depression? I may be happy but that’s just a face. One can never really tell what’s going inside until some sort of gathering or occasion (such as this one) arrives.
My mom called me up saying that we just needed to synchronize our time in order to see them; my classes will start at 2pm, they wanted to eat lunch. We’ll see what will happen.
