Hey Peace, first of all I think it is wonderful that you and your mom are tight like that. She can help you through a lot of difficult times: one, because you are probably a lot alike and two, because she knows you better than anyone else.
but as far as anger and depression and all those feelings that make you lonely because you can't share them with anyone, those are a part of you no one else can fix. I think me and you both have made the mistake of looking to a relationship to calm the storm and fix what's broken. And we've both learned, on the part of immature men, this isn't likely to happen. So now what? Who will take this loneliness.
Well I pray that the peace of your soul transcends the confusion of your mind. And that you would grow into maturity knowing just how lovely and strong you really are, with or without anyone by your side.
What I've learned is the sting of youth and adolescence (that calls itself loneliness) usually recedes with time and age. But until then I challenge us to find a new perspective. "if you can't change your life, change your mind"
Everyday must be challenge to find the beauty of the moment. For instance, instead of looking inward trying to sort the confusion that looking forward causes, look outward! Find a flower or some breeze or someone's smiling face. Beauty doesn't throw itself at you, you have to find it.
This isn't forging reality with idealism as some might think... I look at it more as making the most out of what you have been given.
Second issue, giving your heart away. Wouldn't it be wonderful if your heart was something to be fought for? If you kept it close, in safety and freedom, until a man was willing to take responsibility and respond to you with a committment. And I think, in the safety of good intensions, the heartache wouldn't be quite so achy... and the sting wouldn't be quite so hot... I think the sparks probably wouldn't leave scars. It would give a whole new meaning to *Dangerously in Love*
You, Peace, are absolutely worth being fought for. Don't give up. Don't give in. I love you. Jami
