Tell me where to place myself
I am so hurt, sad and felt offended with words said by my uncle. I felt so little and again, I’m having a hard time recovering that lost esteem. For the longest years, I know my family and relatives are expecting a lot from me. Who am I? Well, I’m the eldest son and grandson of both my mother and father’s side. I have so many inherited responsibilities. Name it, I got it. I have nothing against it. I understand that that’s the life I’m facing and I can’t turn back because that’s an option only cowards do. I always understand. I should always understand. That’s my life for 22 years now. In fact I have learned to embrace all those duties and responsibilities you never asked if I’m still ok or how I was able to manage all of them. My only request is let me do it my own way. After all, you demand and expect so much but can’t give me even a single help and support. It’s easy for you to tell those things because you’re already in the peak of your career and I’m just starting. Please understand that I wanna try all the options I’ve got so in the end I won’t regret anything. If I follow what you want, there are complaints and if I do things my own way, you always say I’m wrong, or Aaron that’s not about it and so on. What is so wrong? Tell me where to place Aaron, the guinea pig.

37“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
39He also told them this parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Luke 6:37-42

I’m sorry, I’m just so fed up with what’s happening. Believe me, I never wanted this dramatic life.
i know how it feels.
but what i have learned from all the shit i’ve been through is that to be just silent and hardworking. prove to them that they are wrong, that you could make it without them. it’s the best vindication.
leave the shit behind aaron. live life your own way.
