Life lesson on parents.
Satisfying dinner with the folk, and gymed with them before that. Man, my mum sure can push the weights, I feel somewhat weak besides her. She's barely 55 kilos, and she pushes almost the same weight on the machines as me. No doubt that's a reflection of her manliness, or my lack thereof, but I'd rather not think of it that way. >.>
I realized, looking back to just a little over a year ago, that my bond with mum and dad have increase like, from nothing to being able to carry on small talk. It feels like nothing now, but it's a great achievement. I mean, we still have problems talking about the more serious topics, like my studies and asking whether I have a girlfriend, but it's so much better than the days when I feel weird saying good morning to them.
Plus, it comes as a great revelation that parents are wise. They know stuff that we don't, and as much as we hate to admit it, know stuff that we always take for granted that they don't know, like what we are feeling. It's great to be able to talk to parents like, well, if not friends, friendly acquaintances. I know for some people that may be nothing, but I am grateful for the state of relationship me and my folk are in now. Oh and fringe benefits include clothes that they ultimately buy for me, even after grumbles about how much clothes I already have. ^^
Oh life's pretty good now, except maybe, just maybe, I might have to start studying sometime soon. xD
