Need to Get This Out of My Chest
Something has been bothering me lately.
It's nothing big. But still bothersome.
I've been watching "My Bargain Queen" with my mother. One of my unsaid rules with drama series is "I don't have to watch all in one sitting". I'll be roughly planning things like "5 episodes is the max for today" and "I'm going to continue tomorrow". While it might not happen all the time, I've always been that person who could stop half-way an arc... just to go do something else.
Of course, it hasn't always been that way. I was also that person who binge-watched MFP1 until 3am (or was it 4am?). Sometimes, in the past, I would wait for everyone to go to sleep before I watch Alec Su's drama series. It's not because of anything scandalous lol just that I was embarrassed to watch something I barely have understanding of (I still learning the basics of Chinese at that time) in front of other people. At that time, my mother was the person who will scold me to go to sleep.
How our roles have changed decades later. Now I'm the one who said no to "One more episode..." It's not like I could sleep early anyway. I seem to need that time alone with myself even after I spend time with my family. I wonder if other introverts feel the same or maybe this is just me..?
[Also wondering why my mother has more energy to watch drama than me at this time lol... she did say she couldn't sleep if she goes to bed early but mum, I'm trying to sleep early here T_T]
This is a problem to me because I have to accompany her downstairs. So even if I said I'm done with the series for tonight, I still have to stay back while she continued watching. (I would catch up with the latest episode the next day)
Lol didn't expect this to go long... just want to get this out. Not really a major problem but it made me think about it for a few days.
