Does she feel out of place?

Looking into her eyes.
Is she happy?
Does she feel like home here?
Does she miss her family back home?
Even her own child cannot speak Thai with her.
And she cannot speak English very well either.

Does she feel out of place?
What is she doing here?

Why do surnames matter so much?

My mother's maiden name.
My surname.
My first husband's surname.
My ex-husband's surname.
I broke up with him but I want our son to use his.
My new Farang husband's surname
I want my daughter to use my Farang husband's surname.
I'm married but I still want to use my mother's maiden name...
because when she dies, I could get her fortune.

Oh human ... we evolve just around this stupid something that is actually nothing.

Names and surnames are supposed to be something that remind us the reason of our existence every time we are called, aren't they? especially Thai names that most of the names have nice meanings... to be good, to be fair, to be happy, to be joyful, to be conscious, to be diligent, etc...

They are brutalists.

My dear, just let it go.
There is no need you ought to be this brutal.
At first I saw you, I can tell from your manner what your intention is for today.
Don't be so angry.
Everything will sort itself out.
It's just a matter of time.
