Starting today maybe i should quote my mum. Seriously, my mum is one of the most intelligent woman i've ever known. Maybe not one of-maybe she is THE MOST. She may be abit irritating and annoying at times (what are mums for right?) but when she advises or encourages me i would take time to listen to her. Even if i dont want to, i feel like somehow, whatever she said/says still goes to my head. and i remember it. and i dont know how she does it, but she surely can.
"We are constantly struggling and chasing for something Jacqkie. After you graduate, you want a good job, after the job, you want a big house, after the big house you want a great family. for what? temporary happiness and then chase some other things?". -Mary Kinti
My mum watched In Pursuit of Happyness the other day with my sister and bro, and after that, there she goes talking about the moral of the story as usual. Most of the time, as much as i get bored listening to whatever mummy wants to say, i tend to concentrate and understand too. My mum told me that she can relate to the movie.
Well of course allllllll mums would say that right?
"Jacqkie, mummy perna go up, down, siring, miring, bengkok, lurus.. you name it. I've gone through all. I have house, but i'm still struggling. I have nice children, i'm still struggling. I dont know what i'm struggling for but it seems like it's ENDLESS. Same to you Jacqkie, the black-and-white you'll get will give you temporary happiness, then when you begin to work, you're back to square one."
My mum has always been my guidepost in life. Her words can be extremely prejudiced or biased at times, but all i know is that she is trying to be protective.
I wonder why at times am i struggling so hard in everything. just like my mum said.
To be accepted? to be understood? to be heard? to join everyone else? to be like what we see? to have what we think is awesome?.. etc etc. everything is temporary happiness indeed. everything.
I guess that's why we were given the chance to live;
to see for ourselves what we are made of .
Love,
Jacqkie.
