It hurts for everyone to know the truth that half of your life is filled with lies, even between parents and their children.
After finishing watching the movie, I have been wondering why Frank's kids all lied to him. The answer I got is that they all love him so much.
Speaking frankly, If I were one of them, I would have done that too. I don't know why. But back in reality, I cannot even count how many times I told my mun on the phone that everything's fine. But the truth was never what I told. Things weren't fine at all.
Maybe that's what we as children of our parents do. For whatever is worth, fine is good enough for parents to know and it is way better than to explain everything that you don't even quite figure out yet. Choosing the easy way to follow is our heart told us to do.
Mum, I never want to disappoint you. That's why I've tried so hard to keep things from you. I love you so much. And I know you love me too. Of that, I will tell things that you want to hear. I will tell you that I am fine.
You keep telling me to do things what I want to do and try my best for myself. You keep telling me to go with my plan and stick to this . However, I never really come to realize what is my plan. The only thing that I am sure is that what you want from me. And that's what I am gonna do.
Not that I am complaining to you that you have asked too much from me, I would be lying if I say that I don't feel that way at all. But I am happy to do all that and I am willing to do whatever will make you happy.
Please forgive me for the occasional lies. Forgive me that I cannot just live the way I want to without considering what you feel like. Even I know that you want me to.
Sometimes I am thinking I just do it for you , at least partly for you. Sometimes I am just glad that we are still talking in such non-encumbered way like I am still a kid in preschool.
Dad, we never talk that much. I know that I tell mum things that I don 't talk to you. You are kinda like Frank in the movie. I will be good just for you.
I maybe never what you guys expect that I will turn out to be.
I maybe lie to you about how I am doing right now
I maybe cannot tell you the truth
I maybe tell you that I am fine and everything's fine
However, remember this: I love you so much and I never want to worry you. I can take care of my own trouble. Even one day everything's not worked out as expected, don't blame yourself. That's not your fault.
