One of the biggest privilege I have is having two loving and supportive parents. 

And I am grateful for them.

Growing up, my parents didn't really force us (as in me and my siblings) to pursue something we didn't want to do. Just like how we chose our major in University, I do know some parents kind of forcing their children to study something beyond their ability, fortunately my parents weren't into that. Even though education is like their #1 priority but I'd never seen them really forced us to pick a major but instead, I saw them give recommendations.

My parents had never interfered with my personal life either.

I am the youngest of three, both of my siblings are settled down and have their own family. I have never been in a relationship for my whole life even though I'm almost thirty but they don't seem bothered with that. 

Since my sister moved out to study in University, frequent texting and calling was in their agenda. Usually it's around Fajr and Maghrib, just to make sure she didn't skip any praying. When I moved out ten years ago, my father insisted for us to get BlackBerry (even though it's just the Curve Gemini ones lol) so we could frequently text via BlackBerry Messenger then we moved to  WhatsApp and the group chat still exists until now. At first, I didn't get why on Earth they were so obsessed by checking on us daily (because some of my friends didn't experience this), but then I realized that's just how they showed how much they care and love us even though we live in different island. Especially during this pandemic situation, just one text from them somehow makes me relieved.

And I, am grateful for them.
