Hi Learn,
I'm fairly new to the blog world, only recently started my own and tonight found yours.
I've been dipping in here and there and getting a feel for you.
The last post I read was about your nightmare, and previously one about your mother.
I just wanted to say a couple of things, firstly that I'm sad you've been so low and lethargic recently, and to reassure you it does happen to everyone occasionally and that you do get through these things, and remember, you're not alone, even though it may feel like it sometimes.
Secondly, I know what its like to have a strong mother, however, I was lucky enough for her to understand that her children belonged to themselves and had to live their own lives. She and I often discussed this; despite a parent's greatest wish to protect their offspring, they must allow them to make their own discoveries, their own mistakes, their own friends and lovers. Parents are not there to judge their kids morals, to insist that they learn from the errors of the previous generation. The role of a parent is to love and guide, the greatest gift one can provide to a child is security and self confidence, for then they grow up to love themselves and everyone around them. You're obviously very intelligent and well read, if you've heard of Transactional Analysis (I'm OK - You're OK theory) you'll understand what I'm trying to say. Anyway, have a look at Claude Steiner's Warm Fuzzy story - hopefully it will reassure you that you're not doing the wrong thing and that you shouldn't feel guilty about not living 'up' to your parent's wishes.
Believe in yourself - you're great.

Hi FlaminHeart!
I do so love it when people 'discover' my blog, and find it worth another look. your comment comes at a great time too, with me trying to get back into the swing of things.
Thank you so much for the insight and support. I've never directly heard of transactional analysis in fact, but it was interesting to go read about it. It makes a lot of sense hehe. I hope my mom and I can talk as adults one day.
And the warm and fuzzy story just left me well..warm and fuzzy. :))
I didn't get a chance to explore fully at your blog, but so far very sexy and intriguing.. You sound a little bit like T. lol in the context of the stories in this blog, guess that's a bit strange of me to say. I think it's a common 'free-spirit' thing though.
Thanks for the great comment, and for linking me too.. hope you come back often!!
Love,
Learn
Waiting patiently love.
I love to think of you 'with a vengeance'. That sounds wonderful and exciting!

Hi Learn,
Thanks for linking to my blog - you're the first :)
Continuing the theme of what parents, society and culture, can do to children have a look at Philip Larkin's wry poem That Be The Verse (but don't take his sardonic humour too seriously).
If you ever read Possessing the Secret of Joy by Alice Walker it gives an insight into how society can pressurise an individual even if they have enlightened parents - the lesson I learnt from it is to be my own person, live my own life as I feel is right and not to be pressurised by other's expectations based on customs, beliefs or fashion.
Bit of a heavy comment, but life is a learning experience and I feel the more we all communicate and discuss things the more likely we are to understand and respect each other.

P.S. I'm pleased I helped you feel warm and fuzzy - I'm a very warm and fuzzy person too, in fact, it gets me into trouble sometimes ;) (but thats another story :D
