Comments on: Hint of great expectations http://www.rebelliousarabgirl.net/2009/02/17/hint-of-great-expectations/ Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:30:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Helena http://www.rebelliousarabgirl.net/2009/02/17/hint-of-great-expectations/comment-page-1/#comment-42706 Helena Mon, 23 Feb 2009 00:14:29 +0000 http://www.rebelliousarabgirl.net/?p=5102#comment-42706 Interesting entry! And, I understand your frustration - being stuck in 2 worlds, our parents are similar and well and we really face similar frustrations. However, I sorta envy that you can get it into words (sometimes I find it difficult to really express what I want to say)... You won't like hearing this, but I sorta agree with what Jessie is saying... if you don't like how things are working out for you, then I think what you gotta do is to get yourself in gear and start busting your ass and making things the way you want it to be! Although you don't know what you want to do yet, but "locking yourself up in your room" (and hide?) isn't going to do you much good in the end. And lastly... I've had an experience when I was younger where things didn't work out (when I took my parents' advise) and well, ultimately, I should have done something differently and insisted on doing it my way because ultimately, I will live my own life (this came from my mom). So... sometimes, even your parents who you look up to, twist things around and you're the one left with picking up the pieces YOURSELF. The lessons I have learned from this experience is: 1) don't blame anyone... because sometimes even when you want to, they can come back and bite you! and 2) what my mom said is true, ultimately, we each live our own life... so be sure you make your own decisions! In the end, if things turn out well, you will live it... but if things stink and you will STILL have have to live and deal with it. Take your time and I hope you will figure out what you want to do with your life! Perhaps you're thinking long-term? How about reducing it to like, maybe a 1 or 2 year goal/plan? I mean, at our age, things can just (yet again) and make another unexpected turn and who knows? Maybe long-term planning just doesn't work so well for us now... I hope you will figure things out soon! Interesting entry!

And lastly… I’ve had an experience when I was younger where things didn’t work out (when I took my parents’ advise) and well, ultimately, I should have done something differently and insisted on doing it my way because ultimately, I will live my own life (this came from my mom). So… sometimes, even your parents who you look up to, twist things around and you’re the one left with picking up the pieces YOURSELF.

Mine is 20 and still does. I will NEVER understand the mentality of my own country as to WHY kids are pressured to leave home at 18....like I said in my blog. People who don't like my way of raisin' my kid can kiss my Puerto Rican ass. With that said Mona you do what is going to make you feel comfortable...the state of the economy sucks so being at home right now is the SMART thing....I know you will do well. You're intelligent, witty and have allot to offer any company. I posted on my blog about people getting on to parents whose kids still live at home. Mine is 20 and still does.
