fatefully yours

i am not one who follow tv serials. but for the latest mediacorp chinese tv serial 孤男寡女 (fatefully yours), it is different. i have been following it almost non-stop and the reason why i do so was becos i can identify with the characters and the issues they faced and i find inspiration from how the lead characters characters handle the challenges.

in the serial, the anxiety issues faced by the xinxin's (the female lead) mum and the chaos it is creating for her is exactly the same as the chaos my mum is creating for me in my own life. and i am thankful to mediacorp for having this show aS it showed that what i am experiencing is not special to me and that there are indeed many out there who are facing the same issues with their own parents. also, what inspired and moved me was the way xinxin continue to take care of her mum unconditionally despite all the challenges her mum created for her. that is something i need to learn for i find that i am always torn between my own personal life and managing her anxieties, insecurities and paranoia...

it is really draining cos it robs me of my life... but, no, i cannot give up. i need to make use of this period to cultivate the loving compassion in me...
