Often being misunderstood by my parents,did I made a wrong choice? Actually, that is not the case here. Age gap has always been in the way of good communication between children and parents and I'm pretty sure, we all had been going through that phase in our life. Our parents had been brought to this life in a totally different manner from us. Some of them are raised through the hard way and wanted us to experience the same way as them. I would like to share some of the aspects that made our thinking style and decision are different in some peculiar way.
Language is the foremost important aspect of our daily life. I fondly remember that I had to filter and change my speaking style and word choice during my schooldays and during my stay at home. Some of my friends are loud and some of them are softspoken. Growing into a simple family had taught me to be flexible; to adjust my social skills between my colleagues. I'm grateful for being blessed to be met with tons of wonderful human being that have their own uniqueness.
The next important thing that I would like to talk about is personal interest. Unlike my parents, I've lived my life to fulfill my day with interesting things, with my own spectrum of thinking style. My dad is a policemen retiree and often spent his time with his adored plants and although he's not a formally taught about carpentry, he's still doing it in his own volition and style. This kind of idea has inspired me; to stay true to your interest and live a happy life with it. But sometimes, my interest often made me had a misunderstanding with my parents.
The future has been undisputedly a friendly topic of a worried parent towards their children. Can their dearest son and daughter make their own living; to support their own selves? The working area and its industry are often affected by one's interest. As for me, I'm profoundly interested in the gaming and E-sport industry and have been thinking of subsistence myself with it. Unable to believe the potential of this industry and its community, my parents aren't so sure about my choice as this will shape my future.
Haha. This one particular element utterly seems irrelevant to me but I insist to mention it; fashion style. As a simple-minded, happy-go-lucky person, I'll wear anything comfortable for me nonetheless the occasion that I'll be attending. Although my thought process has decided like that, my parents sometimes forced me to change to a better outfit. I'll admit, I have a terrible sense of fashion and don't have any particular style that I need to uphold for the rest of my life. Therefore, I'm grateful for my family to correct me and passed down their old clothes as this is convenient for me(doesn't need to buy new clothes all year long).
In the nutshell, we are allowed to have difference and a sense of individuality as that is what made us, us today. Nevertheless, we need to listen to other's advice and take it as a beacon to strengthen and help us in the future. The age gap is not a big problem if we could deliver and practice good communication between our parents. Of course, there will be a hard time that forced us to make the choice that we didn't desire, but everything happens for a reason. Take it positively, cause every cloud has its own silver lining.
