"I think it would be better if you had a positive blog instead of a depressing blog, even if it isn't true."So, per my mother's request, here I go! Feel free to listen to some Lesley Gore as you read.
I have never been happier in my whole life! Coming back to Boston was absolutely the best decision I've ever made because I get to be around so many close and trusted friends who totally left room for me in their lives even though I disappeared for a year to focus on my career! Sure, I'm single, but it's great because I really get to "work on me," because even though I've been alone for 27.4 of the 28 years of my life, I've still got a lot of finding myself to do! And it's totally cool that I'm not having any babies, because who would want to spoil such a rockin' body as mine with a pregnancy? Not this lady, let me tell you! Life is totally worth living and love conquers all and Christmas is magical and also America!
Happy?
You know what, Alex, I think your blog is the one space you have where you can talk honestly about who you are and how you feel about stuff. Given this, I don't think you should let anyone dictate what goes into your blog, not even your mom. Ignoring and suppressing your feelings won't change them at all, it will just make them harder to manage in the long run.
ReplyDeleteAlso, side note: I really can't imagine that your mom would be anything other than proud of what you've accomplished. Anatomy is hard, not everyone can do it, and the fact that you can is nothing but great. However, if she really is embarrassed by the fact that you're focusing on your education instead of popping out babies, I assure you this is her own problem and it's not your job to fix it. Figure out how to make yourself happy before you worry about making other people happy.
