is maldives going to be my escape from life at home?
there are things that need to be discussed. you have a problem, talk it out. but what if both parties are too strong headed, and carry too much pride, to admit their wrong? a simple act of human arrogance is all it takes to stretch a relationship. i use the word 'stretch' here because i see it like a rubber band that is being stretched, that will reach its breaking point when one party decides that he/she can no longer compromise.

we get frustrated when...
- the internet keeps getting disconnected
- someone uses the water while you are bathing (in the context of a hdb flat)
- the house is unclean and no one is lifting a finger to help
- someone else is frustrated
- we are helpless in a situation and all we can do is wait

why do we get frustrated so easily?

i think it is a matter of perspectives, motives and patience.
do we constantly remind ourselves to look at things in a different point of view?
are our actions based on what we intended?
have we lost our patience and neglected the feelings of the people that matter?

i find myself feeling angry and frustrated with my parents more easily these days. is this the age where i begin to rebel? no. but i think they're getting old, and i'm becoming an adult, and in the process of achieving my goals and purpose, i am forgetting to be patient with them.

"whatever that goes on between them, is their problem. they are still my parents." as said by a new, wise friend of mine.

hopefully, i will reach there soon.
