Staying here was an unfortunate choice. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß"> If it were not for my need to reconnect w/ my cousins and childhood friends, dugay ra man gyud unta ko mibalik ug Mnl bahala& #39;g daghan na nabag-o.

Gigusto lang gyud kaayo nako to just be in a familiar place, familiar feeling. And be surrounded by people where I felt safe without asking for it.

But unfortunately, my Manila attitude and ways and character has been much of a burden for my family https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß"> esp. my Grandfather.

Hence the everyday discussion (turned into arguments) about how my decisions and opinions around the house AREN& #39;T and WILL NEVER EVER MATTER (or be considered).

Oh! The point of this thread thing is that I may have to be the bigger person here, yet again hehe (deal w it na lang, ginusto mo ‘yan eh) as per B (see I listen to her!!!) :) And that, my friends, is what am gunna do. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> Shut up na lang and just be.
