problems and promises.

everyone is laden with problems.
and i fucking hate it when we, as daughters or friends try to be nice and concerned but they just push us away.
i wanna help you.
but you gotta let me in.
there's no use pushing me away.
because maybe there are more sense to what i say compared to others.
i'm not being perasan.

mommy. just because i'm 18,
it does not mean that i am immatured in ways that you think i am.
there are things where i say and you know it didn't come from a brat or an 8 year old child.
you know it. and i know you know that i know.
because i see it in you.
you began treating me like a more matured child.
i know, mommy.
i know.
so please.
whatever problems you are facing now,
share with me and sister.
we both deserve to know.
and we will help you get through them.

and friends out there?
please. don't go through any problems alone.
it never helps.
you think it might help.
but it ends up backfiring.
if you need help, ask.
as my wise-beyond-her-years cousin keeps telling me,
ask and you shall receive.
i will help you if you ever need help.
i promise.
that's what friends are for, right?

this is a promise that i'm making now.
and i vow to keep it.
i will be there for whoever of my friends who may need me.
i promise.

xoxo
