I’ll be visiting my parents this weekend for the first time since April.Except it truly doesn’t seem that long ago to me. It feels like I was just down there.

My mom really wants me to visit more often. She keeps saying how nice it was when I was visiting every other month last

Really, you ought to be the main character in your life. Not just a spear carrier.

I'm stealing that and tweeting it. It's very apt for my situation just now.

I’m coming to understand how much of that narrative is fictional. Also, that I really need to be living my own life. Creating my own narrative. Really, you ought to be the main character in your life. Not just a spear carrier.

Amen to that.

It sounds to me like it is your parents (or at least your Mom) who need a life independent of YOU.
