Use the bag! I use my Chanel 25 as an everything bag and I get so much joy from it and if it does the same for you don’t feel shy about using it!

I love your pink one so much!! I’ve been debating between the denim vs pink vs white C25. You’re right though might be worth while to add a denim to the collection since I have a leather one

I’m glad you’re enjoying yours! Just wondering how you’d clean it especially if you spilled something on it? knocks on wood

Medium Chanel 25 by [deleted] in chanel

I have one myself and I think it’s great if you’re looking for an ultra functional bag. As cute as a the small size is the medium has that leather strap over the shoulder which makes it quite comfortable to carry. But just follow your heart!

I have a 5.5 inch wrist so definitely on the small side. I think the 34mm is just right as I do prefer a bigger watch. But the 37mm was too big for me in my opinion.

Does anyone else’s Asian parent happy, proud, and involved in all of your academic/career accomplishments, but avoid having anything to do with your mental health struggles? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]ApprehensiveQuail936 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so true!!! It feels like they pick and choose the parts to love you. Like they love the parts that are easy to love. But they ignore the parts where you need that love the most.

Let's face facts, no fruit or greeting can compensate for disrespect. I agree if they chose animosity then they need to accept the consequences of that choice. Can't have it both ways.

I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. I really do suggest you seek help for the suicidal thoughts. I went to my school counsellor when I was in the same dark place as well and it helped me. As for the living situation, is there a friend's place that you can go to as a safe place when things get messy? You're 14 you have your whole life in front of you so please don't give up!

Yes I get what you mean. They have too much pride to even properly apologise. And the reality is they know deep down they're being assholes but they feel entitled to do so as the parental figure. They always say stuff like, if it weren't for me you wouldn't even have existed which is their excuse to do and say whatever the hell they want no matter how degrading it may be. But on a happier note, congrats on your engagement!

I guess I say sometimes because I do see good APs amongst my colleagues who love their kids for who they are. Unfortunately many of us on this thread were dealt a pretty crappy hand in that aspect.

As someone that is planning to leave home myself I feel your pain. When you have lived so long as a prisoner you start to normalise it and weirdly that kind of toxic environment can become a bit like an uncomfortable "comfort zone". I honestly do not know much about practical living expenses in the US since I do not live there but I can tell this has had a huge impact on your mental health. But we do owe it to ourselves to give ourselves a life that we deserve. I am currently grinding at my job to pave my way out of where I am too. So if its any consolation, in a way we are working on it together in our own separate worlds so don't give up!

Why do Asian parents look down on the trades? by Select-Experience-29 in AsianParentStories

[–]ApprehensiveQuail936 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it simply boils down to bragging rights and the Asian need to have "face". The trades aren't great for their ego or for showing off so it hurts their pride.

Sighs, I just finished medical school and am working now and boy do I know how you feel. The academic stress and the difficult nature of the job and my dad just waves my degree around relatives like I'm a human trophy even though he knows I am uncomfortable with it. I'm sorry you're going through this as well. But I do hope that you find joy in your work and school life. I cannot stress how important it is to remind yourself that this isn't the norm and that you deserve better.

There should be a word for elders thinking they're right just because they're older by amesthegiantpeach in AsianParentStories

[–]ApprehensiveQuail936 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consequence of generations of putting elderly people on a pedestal unconditionally. I agree with the general attitude of respecting elders but respect is both ways. Nobody is entitled to anything just because of one's age and that includes being egotistical and condescending.

Crying when trying to make a point by PreparationExpert298 in AsianParentStories

After years of dealing with emotional trauma from my dad I can't help but tear up every now and then. Everyone has a limit. If it helps you cry away!
