When You Have To Be The Better Sibling
You know those times when they say that ...
You're the one who understands.
Ikaw naman ang nakakaintindi.
You're the older one.
Ikaw naman ang mas matanda.
You should know how to give way.
Dapat maalam ka nang mag paraya.
It's unfair isn't it?
Just because you get older it doesn't exactly means it takes away your feelings right?
I'm 19 years old.
For the past, maybe at least 11 years, my parents have been going to the airport even back when I was a kid to pick up a family memeber. Do you guys think it's normal that I've never seen the airport before despite that?

When they go to the zoo, "It's okay J, it's just the zoo anyway, what there to see right? You don't have to come with us." maybe they think I'm some kind of a robot who doesn't feel anything anymore.

"We're just going to eat out anyway J, you're okay with staying back home right? I mean, you're old enough to look after yourself right? Just watch TV here sweetie."

At this age, I've never been to the mall with my friends because I've never been given the rights to go.
"Where's _______ mama?"
"Oh! Your little brother's at the mall, yesterday was their last day of school so they went out to celebrate. I'm sure their having fun right J?"
Mama, can I go with my friends outing, the class is planning to have an outing since we just graduated?
"Do you have money to use? If you don't, how will you go?"
Papa, I need money for a group project we're making.
"Project? Give me the receipt so I know you're not just going to use the money for something else!"
I don't know if I'm being emotional because of certain things at the moment.
But please do tell, is it normal for a 19 years old, that she's only been at the movies twice.
Once because his litle brother wanted to go and she luckily got the chance to tag along and the second time because her auntie and her little cousin want to go but couldn't because they don't have anyone else to take?
Am I the one being selfish for thinking that they're being unfair?
