Dear anita

You were very clear in talking about death. It will be the worst and inevitable, so  I might as well choose how to live in between

Not once did it seem like you were projecting your relationship with your mother onto mine. They seem to have a lot in common.

It is weird how when i think practically my mother does not have a life that would make me want to follow her lead – yet I feel more at home listening to her than listening to myself. But i don’t think it is only with my mother whose opinions i place above my own, it is everyone, the words i dread the most are “be careful that you won’t regret this later”, whatever the person is referring to, the moment other people warn me or suggest impending danger i always listen, never do i consider for a second why this person deserves a say in my life.
