I realized recently that I can deal with depression and sadness better than dealing with apprehension.
I realized that I can handle my own emotional well-being better than my family's emotional state. Somehow, after years of trying to be distant from family and trying to "bo chap", I realized I can't. Just can't ignore.
Somehow, telling myself that whatever happens, it is not my doing, it is not my fault, and nothing I can do about it. But at the back of my mind, it is always "Is that enough ? Can't I do more ?".
I am too responsible for my own good. I cannot be the bo chap , cool , unaffected guy that I want to be.
