Feelings

If only women can shut their feelings down. There will be no fights, no pain, no anger, no arguments. I bet men would love that. But then, there will be no sympathy, no love, no more efforts, no more heartily made meal.

I always show to my kids and my husband how much I love them in little ways they understand. For example, giving Migue the bigger half of the chocolate, or letting him use the computer in between assignments because I understand studying and making homework is not always fun. There's always play time between study times. And for my husband, I make his favorite sandwich, cook his favorite meal and hide my cut when I sliced the f****** cucumber just so he won't worry. Little things, and they will understand.

But we women wish we can turn our feelings on and off for you. We wish we can turn it off when you are upset, when you forget an important date, when you come home late. We know we are giving you a hard time sometimes, but that's because we know you can do better. We just wanna see your best for us. If you could also make so much efforts like us.

It takes me 30 minutes to change my clothes because I want to look great beside you. I use the bathroom too long because I want to prepare myself for you, making sure my skin smells good and smooth, my hair smells great and my mouth too. Would I care much if I shut my feelings? No.
