“I never confused what I had with what I was.”
— Jonathan Safran Foer
My mom and I had a argument this weekend. To you, this may seem common, but my mom and I never aruge.
We walked into a winery, and I said something along the lines of this is so beautiful I wonder if you can get married here. The second we were alone in the car she stated several times that ”I need to wait to get married” “not do what all my friends were doing” “enjoy being young.”
I have no desire to get married right now. Um hello mom I’m scared of commitment, so that whole left hand ring is not happening to me anytime soon.
She thinks I cannot be independent and be with a man. What she doesn’t understand is I have never once confused what I have with my wonderful boyfriend for who I am. I know who I am, with or without him.
