Semana Santa Confession

This Semana Santa I tried to talk to my dad, my parents told me that they'll always be there for me when I need someone to talk to, so I tried. I opened up with the topic of hydroponics, how I want to try it too like he did, asking him what happened and what went wrong, why did he stop and told him that I wanna try it with fish and shrimps. He never gave me a straight answer, sometimes answering with a single yes or no or answering with a joke and I'd get nothing from it. So I took it as a sign that he didn't want to talk so I stopped asking or talking. I was going to open up to them about my depressing thoughts by first talking about something that they had interest in, but nope. Another failed attempt. I understand that they didn't know anyway, it's not their fault that we don't talk often when I was younger, it's just how we were brought up. Socially awkward introverts that can't prolong a conversation because we grew up answering with only yes or no because you're never allowed to explain your reason why you did it because they already made up their mind and won't ever listen to you or your reason, even if your reason was justifiable.
