Generation gap

Generation gap. I'm sure that many people face this problem. For me, my problem lies with me and my parents being unable to communicate sometimes. It just feels like no matter what I say, they just don't let it get to them. Like for example, when my parents scold me for a misunderstood reason, I try to reason out with them, but not only do they not get it, they blame me for rebutting them.
Sometimes, i really just want to hury up and grow up so that i can move out of the house and just leave them behind. But I can't. It'd be too infilial of me to do something like that. And when I really think of it, I just can't bring myself to do something so... cruel and selfish.

Not being able to communicate well with my parents really sucks. I love them a lot, and I really want to tell them about my love. But somehow, they just can't seem to get it. They can't really feel that love. I can't say that it's their fault since we have a 38 years gap, but sometimes, it just hurts. I want to be able to talk to them, like how I am able to tell these things to my friends, but I can't. They wouldn't understand how I feel.

Somehow, our world is improving at an incredible speed. So I guess maybe that's the reason why the older generations just cannot comprehend with the way we handle nowadays. When I walk past the streets, I would see so many kids playing with their parents smartphones and everything. It feels so different. I guess when I was their age I was the type who thought that playing in the playground is the happiest thing ever. Well, times do change I guess. But it's just too fast. Way too fast in fact. I just can't comprehend it at all.

Maybe the times changing is the reason why. Families have lesser and lesser times to spend time with each other due to so many distractions and the lack of time. I want to treasure those times I have now. I don't want to ever lose it. I want to try to get rid of this annoying "generation gap" so I can tell my parents my actual feelings and allow them to understand it. I believe many people out that wants this too.. right?

So, my advice to the people out there is that, try to spend more time with your parents and older people whom you treasure. Don't let this generation gap get to you, because I can assure to you that if you don't treasure it now, you'll definitely regret it when you lose the chance to communicate with them someday.
Just try to understand them more, and try to open up to them more. I'm sure that if you are able to do so, they will be able to understand you more too. When that happens, you'll find out that this "generation gap" just miraculously disappeared.

Well that's all I have for now,
Ciao ciao!
