Dialogue Between My Mother and I

"that's just the thing... I dont want to be mainstream. I don't think like other people do, mom. I never have, you know that. I'm not into consistencies and normalcy and maybe that's why I can't stick in a relationship. No one is ever on the same page as me. I know that the way I view things can be morbid and quite twisted at times, but I see things as the are. I see the world as it is. I see people as they are. And I don't think its fair to shut my eyes and pretend that its not there. The life I'm living is really hard, like you said, it's going to be a tough road and I'm not going to find the love I'm looking for. But at least I am honest to myself. I like who I am, and how I rant and rave about stuff that bugs me. I know that someday, the right person will get me. They're going to understand me, and let me speak as I wish, and write as I do and not ask questions or find me disturbed and damaged. That's the difference between you and I, mom, you see ugly.... I see beauty.



I don't know. I'm not like everyone else. I have traits and bad habits like everyone else. I have weaknesses, as you so wonderfully point out to me on a daily basis. See, I'm an old soul. And old souls don't think inside the box, they don't just SEE with their eyes.. they propagate. I pick everything apart.

           what do you think?"   ...................
