Choose

Today my parents found out one of my best friends boyfriend is not of the same race. They practically interrogated me. What is wrong with that? They are in love?

My parents are very old fashion. So I think they were actually trying to hint to me the same! But dont they want to see me happy? All these years I've been pressured to find someone of the same race. I've rejected so many dates just because they are not of the same race. This time I have even rejected the one who I really love. I do regret it. And I'm really feeling the pain now. So what did my parents achieve? They now have an unhappy daughter. Don't they see that what they are doing now, all their rules are making me so unhappy. So loney. So miserable.

Do I have to wait till they pass away till I can find someone I truley love?

My friend's parents currently refuse to see her boyfriend. Refuse to accept him into the family. Does it really have to get to this? So awkward being a family who can't accept everything their kids love? I can imagine how hard it is for my friend. I really don't want that to happen to me.

So what do a chose if I have to choose again? Love or family? Maybe I should think for myself next time and choose love. But then does that mean I will lose my family if I choose love?
