For those of you who don’t know, the weverse con festival is taking place in my country, India with artists like TXT, Le Sserafim, Enhypen, Dayoung, Hwasa etc.
Now I did convince my parents to let me go alright. But then, just before the day of ticket booking, I overheard them talking about how they don’t want to go because they are muslim and it would affect their prayer. And now, I am someone who takes self-respect very seriously, so out of self-respect or maybe ego, I refused.
Then 2 days later, it hit me how I actually want to go and started feeling really upset. My mother norticed this and confronted me about this. Both my parents scolded me harshly for not booking the tickets earlier. My father said he would book the tickets from a reseller later since he had to go out that time. Just as my father left the house, my mother started forcing all sorts of her religious sentiments into me like how allah would be angry, I am a muslim’s child so I should not do this even and all. Mind you I’m not religious, only my family is (they don’t know this yet) After all this nagging, I had no choice except just accepting my current reality and not going. I told her that one day I’ll go with my own money then. She replied, “Oh so you’ll never change? how long will you do this, you are a muslim’s child!”
As a 14 yr old, I felt really hurt, even more when I find videos of those groups performing on stage. Someone please convince/motivate me not to be upset and that I’ll surely be able to go in future. Also, I really don’t wanna cry when the videos from weverse con are released but that’s very likely gonna happen.
