(no subject)
Yesterday started out like any other normal day. After work I had a really deep massage, which was amazing.. then I went over to the parents' house to borrow some shoes from my mom. They made me some dinner so as I was eating, my mom abruptly starts talking about how she knows I smoke and that if I want to at the house she will leave an ashtray outside for me so I won't have to leave.... OK it may not seem like a big thing but this is probably the biggest breakthrough in my relationship with my parents.. first of all, they don't talk about anything.. second of all they seem to love to tell me what I am doing wrong.
Well this just opened up a big floodgate, at least with my mom. I told her how thankful I was at how cool she was about it, and that I don't talk to her about it because it's not something I'm proud of. It was such a relief, talking about something that I've been trying to hide for a while and they have been trying to hide their knowledge of. After that, everything just came out. A lot about what I am going through, what I don't like about myself, what I don't like about the people I surround myself with... And the weirdest thing was, she didn't tell me what to do once. She did tell me her opinions on all of the people I discussed, which were probably the most dead-on analyses of these people who she doesn't even know. And then she commended me on being so strong.
Ahh I love Fridays at 5:00.
