for the past few days, when i come home i hear green day or my chemical romance because my parents like to casually listen to those bands. and that makes me so happy, it puts me in a great mood. today, i came home and "basket case" was nearing its end. some other green day singles came on while i ate, but then "wake me up when september ends" came on and i begged my dad to stop it. he didn't want to. my parents claim all music should be listened to, no matter the songs' topics. i said that serious/sad songs need to be listened to seriously, not casually. i cried while listening to that song, i simply couldn't hold back the tears. they got very angry. they think it's dumb to cry because of songs. but i've seen both of them cry because of songs. my dad won't stop making fun of death and he keeps on laughing about how stupid it is to cry when someone dies. it hurts me and i know it hurts my mom because she's lost her brother when he was not even five years old. my dad's seen too much death for it to harm him. he simply says death is coming for everyone and there's nothing to be scared of. he says the only thing people need to be scared of is the financial debt your loved one is gonna leave to you when they die. i was very hurt by all the things he said and since i was already crying, my mom got mad. she hates it when i cry, especially when i cry about allegedly stupid things. i don't think death is a stupid thing. death is very very serious to me. the three of us haven't exchanged a single word in quite a while now. i'm sorry for ruining their day with my emotions and beliefs.
