La fe con que vivo, la potencia de mi voz, los pies con que vivo.

My mother has been ranting all day about me getting drawing classes and in the future, working as an artist.

Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't mother supposed to be telling you to study law, or medicine? Well mine is a special case, she's a hippie and wants me to be the same. I can't. I'm sorry, but I just think that mothers see their children as the best

Real

[doneitall]

I think I can relate in a weird way. How you can see al the flaws, and actual REALITY, but my mom is so different from yours. My mom talks down my so called "talents," and tells me that I should be a doctor, well, she is actually forcing me to be one. But she isn't very supportive, and when she is, it is so fake which makes it useless. Honestly, I think thats why I don't really try to make my parents proud or anything, and keeo my accomplishments to myself. I really see no reason to have a temporary self esteem boost talked down by one of my procreators.
Hope you do make it in life the way ypu want to, though.

Yes, I know a lot of people who have parents that do the exact opposite of mine, and I think they should not be that way. I like how my mother tells my brother and sisters they're good in something, because I know it's true. I'm glad you are also such a realist and don't need your mother to know who you are.
But ugh, I think I'd appreciate her shutting up when it comes to me, I hate it.
