On In-Laws

In-laws can be the most awkward characters.  There's always that extra pressure to please and impress them, in hope that they love you.  Though I, for one, do not have in-laws just yet, I've felt the glimpse of accommodating to such "characters."

While he tells me to be myself and comfortable, there is an unending battle between comfort and the shoulda/woulda/coulda.  Korea has taught me that humbleness and self servient nature is the best representation of "good education" from parents, yet a full blown display of it can be quite awkward.  Where to find the balance... I'm learning and taking notes.

I'm lucky to have met such parents (to-be).  They are warm and kind-hearted.  Very welcoming.  Thank you for being you.
