| I'm back from Asia! I went to HK, Shanghai, & Taiwan with my family. The trip was incredibly boring. I'm too old for family trips, what I find amusing is completely different then what my parents find amusing.
Trip to Taiwan was the worst because my parents made us go see a fortune teller. I had a fight with my dad about not wanting to go. I lost of course! So with a fever I was dragged out into the rain to see the stupid fortune teller who told me that it would be best if I continued working for my parents and venturing on my own wouldn't be as prosperous. Forever dependent upon my parents!? I asked what my prospects were if I decided to work for a corporation and the gypsy said it's best not to, well she said some other stuff in Chinese I couldn't understand, basically ending with it's best to work with my parents. I was stunned with this prediction, no free will, no choice to choose my own path, so this is it? I believe this gypsy's sight is limited, since some questions ended with I do not know, I only hear what is told, and I can not see that far. I refuse to believe that my only path is to work for my parents. It's just so sad~!! I asked her how my future looked if I went back to school, she also blows that out of my future too, saying I will not finish. Why won't I finish?! I should have asked why wouldn't I finish...ah well, she'll probably just relay back that she does not see that far.
Should I believe what she says and just continue working for my parents? .... L'arc, Ween...what do you guys think?
As you guys know, it's always been a struggle for me to tell my parents no. There's been a few times the topic came up and it ended in tears and drama, so I've given up and just decided to help my dad with his business. Although it's his dream and not mine but he feels I should be grateful for this rare opportunity. I know the rarity but I just don't like this industry and being forever bounded by them. Every choice I make from buying a car to taking a trip, is made by them, and not by me. I refuse to change cars until I can make that decision alone. |
