Who are we kidding, right?

We are too busy making sure we grow up well, making the best out of our own time, looking at the world turning around, we sometimes forget we are growing up.

But if we can't even remember that we ourselves are growing, who is going to remember that our parents are growing old, too?

Watching kids grow up, is one thing, we get caught up with their joys and eagerness in learning about the world.

Maybe it's not a nice thing to say to parents; you're old! Maybe they knew, but they don't bother realising it sometimes. But right now, this Korea trip with my mom, shows me the vast difference we have came upon after such a long time. The last time we went on a proper trip was... I don't know, 6 years? From a teenager then who only buys keychains and souvenirs for friends, to an almost adult now shopping for beauty products, and apparels. Mummy is getting old. It is my responsibility to bring her around now. But I am not ready to pick up this responsibility.

I refused to go on a free and easy trip with mummy to Korea. Knowing the language barrier and that everything here is in Korean, I was afraid that I would get lost, with mummy in my hands.

I don't know.

Is it because I just wanted to have a proper rest for my holiday, with nothing to worry about...

Or

I just wasnt prepared to take up the responsibility of being an adult daughter to my aging mother...?

She looks like a child. :P
