vent: this is simply a vent becuz nobody in my real life is listening to me.
I just participated in the TOC Asia and our team lost at the semi-finals. That alone would not be so bad itself, but the fact the motion was so obviously and extremely biased towards the proposition (I was opp) made it unfair and irritated me becuz the girl with the best speaker award was literally on our team and we could’ve won if not for that dumb@ss motion. I would not say the motion here becuz then there would be need for lots of explaining for why it’s unfair which I’m definitely not in the mood for. Even if it’s just that, it’s just small irritation, and I could laugh it off later. But. My mother and I just had a fight over it. That fight was partially my fault, I admit, but my mother had an obviously better solution. Throughout the afternoon with my family, I complained several times abt the unfair motion (annoying, I know) and at first they provided me with “emotional support”. Then, just before bed and I went to vent with my mom, the one I love and trust most, and we somehow got into a fight.

ok, she got tired of my complaining? She could’ve told me in the first place straightforward way, tell me she’s tired and doesn’t want to listen and I WILL go back to my room. I’m not a masochist, I wouldn’t hang around when I know she doesn’t want to hear it. And she really are just going “I think you’re overreacting” WITHOUT HEARING THE OPINION OF THE GIRL WHO ACTUALLY WENT THRU THE DEBATE. like, miss, are you assuming you know more about debate than your daughter who had lessons and had two competitions already? Are you saying you think the motion is completely fair, when you can’t even understand the motion? Are you saying I’m overreacting when my team, four people, one of which is best speaker, spend thirty minutes of prep and only thought of one argument? Okay, yeah, completely logical. Tell me to leave if you’re tired. What is the meaning of saying all what you said?
