In each relationship, it's about balancing the closeness you have with that person to reap the maximum net happiness or hurt caused.

Thanks Mum, for the birds' nest. It really pains me to see how guilty you are because you feel you're not providing enough. You are. We're both old enough and sensible enough to take care of ourselves and put the needs of the family before our own. Whenever something happens to you, I can't help but wish I could freeze time so we could all stay here in this moment. I can't deal with loss, not anymore.

No more heartfelt conversations with you. No hard feelings but I'm done with knowing about your life.

From tomorrow, I live my life right.

And hopefully, I'll stop saying it.
