You love me? Yeah right...

"Ma! I love you..."

Don't know why, today I just felt like saying this. And when I finally did, I regretted it. My mum was slightly smiling at first, then she told my sis, "Look! Your je so fake!" Blank. Suddenly my whole world was a blank. I just stood there, dumbfounded. I was sincere in saying that. I even gathered up my courage to say that. And this is what I got. I was being "insincere". I was "wanting something". It hurts me so much. Do these words have no meaning anymore?

We always say tell them how much we love them while we still can. But when we really say it, do they believe it? This is something to do with our culture I think. We are expected to not show our feelings too much which I don't know why. People tend to hide their feelings, afraid people will find out how they really feel. This I don't know why also. Isn't it good to express your feelings sometimes? Especially good ones like love?

Mum! I really do mean it when I say I love you. Please do not question my sincerity anymore. I really do love you.

Although the outcome of your expression of feelings may not be so nice, at least you have done what you feel is right. You have shown people how much you love them. You have done your part. And with that, you will have no regrets. That's what's important.

Express yourself. It is not good to keep all things to yourself. Share your laughter, share your love...
