I cannot change people. I cannot wait for them to change so that I'll be happy. I have to choose to be happy and adjust myself to them. So I have decided to change. But the more I try, the more I get hurt. Although I still find my mom's ways unacceptable, annoying and improper, I want to change. I want to go the extra mile. I want to reach out. I want to have a good relationship with her. I want to shut my mouth when I disagree. I want to pretend I didn’t see her off ways. I want to give compliments as often as I can. I want to show love all the time. After all, she is my mom. This is what I have to do. This is what I want to do. This is what God calls me to do. But the more I try, the more I get hurt.

I can't remember where I read this words but it's like this ~ "If you don't want something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." Maybe dumadating talaga sa lahat ung point na yan. I also felt the same way when I was staying with my mom. But most of the time, tahimik lang ako kahit na ano pa sinasabi nya. I am also considered as black sheep of the family, obvious naman db? hehehe! And considered as "makasarili" and walang pakialam sa iba. Just ignore it, hindi lang cguro maxadong bc ung mom mo kaya ikaw npagdidiskitahan. hehehe!
"If you don't want something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."
it's not like we can change everything, like my mom for example. i can't change her, so i said, i've decided to change. it's easier said than done :D
my mom is a very busy person. hehe
Mothers are basically very protective and domineering. But it's hard to be too critical of them because they do have our best interest at heart.
I found it easier to get along with my mom whenever I listened to her intentions and not how she worded them.
*smiles*
