As some of you may already know I don’t completely buy into the whole “family” business mostly ‘cause for some people the fact that you’re related to them is the perfect reason for them to wall all over you and if you EVER need anything from them they would rather have their eyeballs taken out before stepping an inch out of their comfort zone.
It’s happening with my brother’s stay here. This is not by any means about him, not at all, It’s about all our other relatives. They all yap so much about wanting to see him ‘cause he’s almost never around but they won’t even move a muscle about it, my mother (who’s not even related to my brother or to my father’s side of the family for that matter) is the one that has been driving him around so he could have a chance at seeing all my other aunts and uncles.
Where’s the “family” component in this case? Is it just me or is it all for show while he’s spending these days here. I don’t really wanna say anything but the whole “We want to see you but you have to come to us” kind of deal just pisses me off!.
I have the best example for this. Take my Godmother, haven’t seen her since I came back to Venezuela, She sends my brother an sms saying “we should get together” and all that crap but she’s already “booked full” for today and tomorrow, I mean, what the hell?!.
I think that what pisses me off the most is that it takes time that could be used to entertain my brother just so He could see them when they wouldn’t even bother to move their schedules a bit ‘cause of the whole “family” concept.
Is it just me? Am I being selfish? the fact is I dropped him off at one of my aunt’s just now and perhaps I won’t even get to spend time with him at all today.
El descaro que tienen algunos que luego de hacer las cosas que hacen sin importar como afectan a los demás desaparecen unos días y creen que todo está normal. Si no me conocías antes pues entiende, ese no es mi caso.
La confianza se perdió en el momento que, por pensar (debo decirlo) con el culo la terminaste cagando y mal. Ahora o empiezas de cero, o mejor ni siquiera lo intentes pues Yo rara vez doy segundas oportunidades, pero no sin antes confrontar la situación, lo que al parecer no sabes hacer.
¡Anda y que aquellos con los que intentabas quedar bien te brinden lo mismo que yo te brindaba por pendejo!
Es todo.
Primero que nada plantéese esta pregunta:
¿Es usted ó ha sido alguna vez usted pendejo en su vida?
Si la respuesta a esta pregunta es “Sí”, plantéese esta otra
¿Por cuánto tiempo ha sido usted un pendejo?
Estas dos preguntas son las dos únicas preguntas que usted debe hacerse si en verdad desea empezar el proceso de “despendejización” (sí, sabemos que no es un término genuino pero espere un poco y ya verá a las revistas médicas y de psicología hablar de este proceso que afecta a muchos en nuestras vidas y en varios niveles).
Si yo había dicho en mi mente “hasta aquí”, hoy se confirma más todo.
Hay cosas que puedo pasar, pero lo que ví hoy no puede simplemente dejarse pasar.
I wish I were back at The States.
Well, scratch that.
I wish I were far, not necessarily at The States, but far.
I keep reading rejection as an invitation and interest as a sign to run in the opposite direction.
Something is definitely off.
