AFN (Asianfuse network)

Like health issue ? It hard to be a strong person . It so easy to just break down and cry when problem arise . To be strong is to be confident and believe in yourself even if you never accomplish anything , it's better to aim high and fall among the star than to do nothing and kept wishing for thing to work out for the best.

Thank you so much for the motivational talk @sarN. I was honestly just stressed out with my relationship and things at home. It's difficult to date someone that goes against the cultural norms and beliefs. It's coming in between my relationship with my parents and people around me.. Although I never really had a good relationship with my parents or people anyway. I was just feeling so down yesterday.

boys are stress LOL . I completely understand about dating someone & your parent disapprove. My parent are very difficult to deal with , especially my mom but i learn to listen to one ear & out the other . Silent is gold b/c you can't win against Asian parent, I nodded to everything they said & maintain my goal privately , personal stuff

. I never admit to dating anyone. Never even mention a man name . If i go out . It FRIENDS. Always friend .

when the time come . it be too late for them to say anything . b/c by then you will be ready .

@sarN thank you. You have no idea how much it means to me to have you send some courage and strength my way. This is definitely what I need to hear. I don't have a lot of friends or even family that I can trust. I feel like no one knows what I'm going through, but for some reason I have a feeling that you do.

@sarN I just can't wait to graduate college and start my own life. I can't deal with living under my parents roof anymore. I'm 25 but they still treat me like I'm 16 years old. Always trying to control me and regulate my every move.... Sigh. I don't want to sound ungrateful but I need to live my life.

I had experience w/ parent controling & was brain wash by their strict religion , Asian parents control their kids by religion, culture & traditional vaule . I have a rebellious's heart but b/c of my up bringing I could not disobey my parents, I was taught not to disrespect ur elder according to Buddhist teachings.
