Asian Problems...

Being the oldest daughter in the family... smh. Its got its ups & downs, but haha, how unlucky we are. EVERYTHING falls under us. Our so-called "duties", sure do get on my nerves. Moms be like, "Ayaaaahhh! You need to prepare yourself so that when you go be a nyab (daughter-in-law) they will like you and not send you back to your father & I. It is very embarrassing & blah blah blah..." Yeah, i know & i get it but yo, can i get some me time at least? i can't even have time for myself when i have to take care of everything in the house & prepare daily meals for everyone. Yeah, i get it, being a nyab is like very very important. Trying to please both mother-in-law & father-in-law, but get this, I'm only 15. I am not planning to get married anytime soon, okay? Okay. I've got college ahead of me, but they make it sound like i'm going to get married tomorrow. Yeah, i know too, that marriage can happen like overnight, but yo, i don't even have a boyfriend...lmao! I know i'm complaining & stuff & i am very thankful that i'm being taught early, but i just want to let you girls, who have the same problem, know that i feel ya. Man, do i feel ya!

Sometimes when I tell people that I'm Hmong, they ask me if I'm trying to say Mongolian.

I think I would have said Mongolian if I meant to say that.
