Growing Up Sucks
Fight with mom. Realized that we are growing apart and it hurts so bad. We used to look through the same point of view, think the same thoughts, but now I'm finding my own path, my own point of view. When my heart tells me something different from what she says, I am so confused. Do I follow my own intuition, my own soul? or do I follow what I've trusted my whole life? Am I crazy by thinking something different? Why am I so stupid?
Thoughts like these are occupying my mind during the time when I need to study. So I wrote a poem that may or may not be horrible. I can't decide. I think I'm coming down with a head cold or something, I'm so out of it.
We were two bodies
That shared one soul
When they cut the cord
Our essence remained whole
I am growing now
Faster and faster each day
A branch has grown and broken
I’m making my own way
The way I make is shaky
New steps to a baby girl
I’m stupid and afraid sometimes
Finding an undiscovered world
I’m so confused about my heart
I think I know but so do you
To follow my own and know
That yours could never be untrue
It’s hard, this second birth
A new world is mine but
There is still a cord between us
And though it hurts, it has to be cut

My sweet,
am first of all a daughter, and had of course problems with my mom. In fact I still have them.
Second am a mom for 16 years of a lovely stubborn boy that thinks that he knows it all. Its part of our lives to think different from our loved ones who we were growing with, but that doesnt mean we will stop loving them. To have it already in your mind to think about its already something good, and am sure you will find out a way of living your life. Just try to experience the experience of your mom, and you will realize that she will not do nothing to harm you, on the contrary.Listen to her and you will not regret, but dont stop bein yourself.

Thanks for yr nice email! Am a "brand new" blogger, and I was just surfing when I found yr blog. Just noticed now your favorite books, and despite our big differene in our ages, I found one that I also like. So I will suggest you two greatest names that you should read: Khalil Gibran (start with the prophet), and then Paulo Coelho (start with the Alchemist). I really hope you ejoy it as much as I did!
By the way, I hope you will slowly find answers for your "essential questions" written in your blog.

I concur. Having a row with your mum is a rite-of-passage !!
Paradoxically, you'll become closer as time goes on.
Ola Lindsey!
Thanks for replying back!
Am lad you already read the Alchemist. For me its a must, but just a certain kind of people like it. I have friends that couldnt even finish it... What a shame!
The Prophet its also a must for me, as other book of Khalil Gibran. I read it in portuguese, then in english, and oooops I prefer it in portuguese. Read it an am sure you will love it. By the way, he was also a great painter!
Paulo Coelho has also a book that i very simple to read: "Essencial wrds" (this is a trabslation from portuguese... might have a different name in english. Its bits of almot all of his books. Very good one too!
I remember to brwose on Richard Bach books in Portugal in my lunch time, and just hv 1 book that I cant remember the name (its in portugal...). But I found him as very inspired man, and very close to Paulo Coelho.
Have to try and see if I can find it here and will let you know.
By the way, am readng now Palace Walk from Naguib Mahfouz (nobel prize for literature).
Am sending you the link of my other blog. Pls feel free to share it with your friends as well:

Am sorry, forgot to tell you that I dont know Ishmael (I think). Sounds like a name from the part of the world where I am now... Can you give me the name of the book he wrote?
E-mail me to: ana.dayya@gmal.com
Thanks
Ana
