You know...if coming over to France has ever taught me something, is that transiting into adulthood is never a walk in the park. The past few months & weeks..has been very troubling. Suddenly I'm faced with things like insurance...salary changes...bills...bills...and more bills.
So many things that I may have taken granted off in the past. First, the pain of paying phone bills, (I'm not talking about the monthly $25-40) but the monthly enormous sum of ($300-$400++), when all I did was a total of 20mins call back to Spore via the service providers' international call service. Secondly, the insurance. This is something that I still feel hard to except. Yes, I know that insurance is a must...but I find it hard to pay for sth that I do not receive tangible benefits from. Especially when I have to pay so much...and insurance companies tell me that I have to pay more for them to cover me because of the nature of my job. =( This is hard.
Just 5 minutes ago, I had did something that I shouldn't have done. My father chatted with me, but the moment we talked about the phone, I vented my anger on him. He said that if this pains me, but what him, he has been paying all that since I was born. That, I agree..is never easy. I'm sorry dad, I know you just wanted to talk to me and make sure i was ok, but i vented my anger on you. I apologise.
My friends, never take your parents for granted. No matter what happens, always remember your parents went through pain to ensure you are who you are now. And one thing's for sure, it aint easy on the pocket. The bills and all...they burn quite a hole.
Dad, sorry. I love you, pls forgive me.
