Know your Boundaries..

I was a shiftee so that makes me a year older from my groupmates.. Its not really some sort of age gaps coz 1 year doesnt matter but some of them still consider me as their “Kuya”..

We have our little differences but we were still able to get along with each other well.. They have their share of jokes and I have mine.. Often times I am “game” with their’s but there were also times that I just want to be alone.. I can be very loud or quiet sometimes. . I also have my own set of mood swings..

One of my group mates that I really get along well is into playing simple pranks and jokes.. And sometimes, I am one of his victims and we always end up laughing about it.. I also had my share of pranks with him.. Sometimes, when Im not in the mood, I just let it pass and act as if its not a big deal.. I always take into consideration that I am a year older and maybe I should understand them a bit more.. I always have patience with me.. But sometimes, the situation can be very overwhelming that the patience I have is not enough to cope with it..

I got fed up…

And silence suddenly consumed me.. I don’t want to talk to anybody..

He approached me and I bluntly said “Why are you talking to me??” The way I delivered my reply was a simple indication that I am mad with him.. After a few minutes, he approached me again and he apologized, but I can see that he’s not really sincere… I want to give him a punch in the face.. I went away..

A few minutes of tension within the group.. He approached me again and apologized..

I just had the guts to say what I want so say. I was very straight forward.. I literally hit my point blow by blow.. Just to let him understand that I have my limitations too..

And then after that, apology accepted..

No fist fight happened.. I am not like that..It ended up in a very diplomatic way.. And I’m just glad that I was able to stress my point..
