now that i'm forced to think about it, i realise i really am quite a selfish person.
i know i always complain, that my sis is a lazybum and doesn't lift a finger around the house yaddayadda, but when i compare myself with what my mum does, i know i don't even hold a candle either. after talking to her just now, i do feel terribly guilty for not doing my part, or even more, to help her out. because she's truly shouldering alot, more than any one person should, and i can see she's genuinely tired. not angry, but just really tired, maybe even sad. perhaps i've been making too many excuses for myself- too tired, too busy. but i don't really think i'm any worse off than she is. i have school, she has work. plus has to cook, clean, wash, and a gazillion other things around the house. maybe it's just that i don't make the time to help out more. it's one thing to say i love my mum and i care about her, but it's another thing to put that into action. thus,
I RESOLVE TO BE LESS SELFISH AND MORE THOUGHTFUL. and a much better daughter to have around. and i mean it.
