[Review previous expression]

• My mother confided in me as we watched her older sister exchange the customary pleasantries with a new circle of visitors. 
  • When I was a kid, my father took away the money that I had saved over 10 years since kindergarten, without me knowing. Since then, I couldn't confide in him. But as I am getting older, we have bonded together. So I confided all my wedding plans to him. 
  • [chatgpt] When I was a kid, my father took away the money that I had saved over 10 years since kindergarten, without my knowing. Since then, I found it hard to confide in him. But as I've gotten older, we have bonded. So, I confided all my wedding plans to him, trusting in his advice and support.

My biggest takeaway from living in the US is that I'm too old to learn something enthusiastically, and that was a trial I was unwilling to endure.

I assured my parents I was not feeling homesick because I had invested in overcoming homesickness.
