i don't want any of the above mentioned please!

what protects the heart?
a cage of ribs and various parts...
i don't think it's strong enough though...
because i still feel it even now...

when i look at shiny happy people...
i'd always think that could be me too...
except, i'd be shinier and happier...
but being happy is too much hard work for me...

my parents have done some crazy stuffs...
but this time this takes the cake...

they called me back for dinner last night...
on the pretense that my dad would soon be flying back...
so, young and naive me obliged and cancelled dinner plans for that evening...
when i got home, both parents sans siblings and an additional guest...

my mum's bff, who's a insurance and financial advisor...
it was a bloody intervention...
i had to sit through 2 hours of dinner...
and not in a 10 course dinner kinda way, but in a 10 different life policy kinda way...

i've no idea what happened, but i think i'm insured to half a million now...
of which i am not paying for my premium until i get my first job...
this is my parents little way of saying...
we own your ass and more, and if you decide to eff yourself some day...

at least we'd get some moolaahs...

i started freaking out mid way in between signing 20 pages long of insurance liabilities...
but it was like signing a life commitment/ sentence...
i can't even decide what i want for dinner...
and i'm suppose to make decision on a life policy right now?

i think i'm having my quarter life crisis right about now...
there are some stuffs you shouldn't hear until you've reached the half way mark..
things like, drag disease policy, young family, premium returns...
i don't want any of the above mentioned!!!

growing old is ugly...
being an adult is even worse...
