My dad celebrates his 52nd birthday today!
Today saw my dad trying to kiss my mum for the phone while she resisted. Today also saw him bumping into me at 11pm and asking if I'm going to sleep, and then heading to the sofa to slowly pull on his socks after a dazed look at the tv.
I wish I could give my parents the life they should have. I wish, at 50 and 52, they could be traveling to small South-East Asia countries just enjoying the little things in life as they rekindle their love. But instead they are slogging away because I am not capable enough.
I wish I was better. I wish I am the two men who briefly crossed my life once, who went on to become brokers and startup whizzes. I wish I had their foresight and their willpower. I wish I had this mental thought train sooner because YOU KNOW WHAT, I can.
Who the fuck stops me from being the best version of myself I can be? I'm probably standing in my own way. Singapore is a fucking small country and if I can't make it here, how am I gonna expect to make it in the States, where I hope to retire in one day?
Okay yep this is my call to action.
