Asking for More


Guitar + Cigarette: AWESOME
when loneliness / boredom / restlessness gets the best of you, when you don't feel like doing anything else
Mummy and Daddy loves Jane.
Jane loves Mummy and Daddy.

Mummy and Daddy used to have dinner with Jane every night,
and afterward Jane would go out and hang out with her friends.

Mummy and Daddy used to show Jane how much they loved her.
She knew, and felt how much they loved her back then.

They talked, and spent time together, watching TV, reading books, eating chocolates in bed.
They were the best of friends, they enjoyed being together.
Weekends were spent at Mummy and Daddy's place.
Even if Jane was to sleep all day long, it was the happiest days in her life,
as she slept in the arms of Mummy and Daddy

Then Jane moved away, and lost her close sets of friends.
She naturally became more dependent on Mummy and Daddy,
from just best friends to treating them like super BFFs.

But Mummy and Daddy got busy.
and they got bored with having to cater to Jane's needs all the time.
They now hate spending time with her,
but they never neglect all the important things.
College fund, allowances, insurance and good education,
are all well taken care of.

Soon Jane is not welcome to stay at their place anymore.
Not even on weekends.
Not even when Jane practically begged to come over to watch TV as her own TV was broken. They asked her to watch TV at her aunt's place instead, in another town, when their place is just few blocks away.
Not even when Jane, at the verge of crying, saying how sad she feels having to come home to an empty house of hers 7 days a week.

Jane knows Mummy and Daddy love her still.
Jane knows how much Mummy and Daddy have done for her, just because they love her, and love her they still do.

She just yearns the attention, the companionship, the human contact, and the need to feel loved again,
and she's coping to the change in routine.
No more weekend at Mummy and Daddy's place.
No more dinner with Mummy and Daddy every day.

All she needs is a hug some times.
And as she can't even get that from Mummy and Daddy.

She is now trying very hard to adjust to spending weekends on her own. 
To try and be independent.
To try and embrace loneliness.
To accept that there is no one other than herself.
Not even Mummy and Daddy.

She is trying very, very hard.

Inconsistency can definitely breaks a child's heart. If you can't even ask for the time, and even a hug from your loved ones whenever you need one, then who else can you get it from? 

Again it is all about how much they have done for you, and how you should count your blessings and shouldn't ask for more, sigh.
