This is a serious problem. I ain't sure how to cure it. You know. The tradition. I've been spending much of my time talking about this. Show my objections and show protesting to my parents and my family members.

I ain't sure about what I've been doing. I ain't sure about whether I should follow the tradition or not. Well.the tradition I'm saying about is that the asian rules. Yea. I consider that asian rules. Example, boys are always stronger than the girls, or every child has to be a doctor of an engineer. Yea. That is what I've been talking about. These rules are terrible things, for me. 

I often tell my parents and my sister that some Asians are too rigid in everything. I say I want to change this condition on by changing myself not to be like them. I say some of the tradition rigid the life of people. I say there isn't any proof about how weak a girl can be than a boy. No! Then, my parents say most of the girl can't lift heavy things. I say that don't show how weak a girl can be. They say it is the proof that girls are weaker that the boys. 

My dream, is to go out of this rigid asian culture/ tradition. Something that I can't accept in my life, the stupid tradition. I can't. 

However, something like something like kissing or hugging the other gender, are also what I can't accept. You know, kissing people you don't know. That is disgusting, I think. Shake hands for me is OK. But then, having hand to hand is like ' WHAT? '.  I can't accept things like that. So, is that called rigid myself with the tradition?

I don't know. Maybe I am too young to know what is the truth. But God knows. Let he guide me rather than I guide myself.
