Ello mates,
First time I ever did something remotely like this, as I am usually reserved unless I am with close friends.
Let me paint the picture, I am an impulsive(extremely) or intuitive as I like to say because it has a more positive connotation attached to it, teenager. Also, I'm a total D-bag, which is where my story/rant starts.
I blame my parents for my D-bag personality.
Recently, I qualified and competed in the Junior Olympics for Fencing. (yes haha, fencing.)
I ran into a wall in the round of 64 and ended up placing around 50th place. In other words, I got rekt... according to my parents.
I actually thought I did pretty good, considering that I have only been in the sport (or "sport" as some people would say) for three years. My parents, however, were not proud or if they were, they had a weird way of showing it.
Maybe a week after the Junior Olympics, they asked me if I wanted to go to a local tournament. At locals, I stomp pretty much everyone at all ages (maybe except some Duke fencers but I can hold my own pretty well) and I said sure. They then said out of the blue for no particular reason "why do you want to go? You finished nearly last last tournament and we see absolutely no improvement in you. You still suck and don't think you are good." I'm not sh*tting you. Except they said this to me in Chinese.
That statement didn't surprise me, my parents sh*t on me all the time. I read about parents sh*tting on their children all the time also. I notice that I am not the only one.
But what did surprise me was my reaction, which was "k den" like I simply didn't give two sh*ts.
I guess this is an accomplishment, I have developed selective hearing/thought or thick skin.
But then why dafaq do I think about this so much then. It consumes nearly half of my thoughts throughout the entire day, my fencing skill and relationship with my parents, its like an obsession.
Thanks for reading,
I might do more of these, these are fun.
