Chloe Tan :
To my mom: You always thought I was trying to argue, but I was just trying to tell you how I feel. I wasn’t looking for a fight, I was looking for understanding, for you to see the things I couldn’t put into perfect words, my frustrations wasn’t anger, it was hurt, the kind that comes from feeling unseen, unheard or misunderstood. I tried to explain myself but maybe I said too much or not enough, maybe my tone betrayed me or my emotions got tangled up in the words, but all I ever wanted was for you to listen, not to defend yourself or fix things, just to hear me, to know that my feelings mattered to you even if they didn’t always make sense. I never wanted us to drift apart over misunderstandings, I just wanted us to be close enough that I could share my heart without it feeling like a battle. I hope one day you’ll understand that my words came from love, not from a need to argue and that all I ever wanted was for you to care enough to listen.
