There's a girl which stays apart from her family. A normal culture for western ppl, at certain age, some will choose to live by themselves. So this girl, she has almost everything, she has a good life and good family.
But one thing, she thinks nobody understand her.
One day, she made a mistake, and she needed a listener ear, so she called her mum. Mum loves her alot, but mum's way of love is not what she expects. Mum is a person that talks loud and harsh to hear, but that is her! She can't blame her mum, and she understands that. This time, she heard the loud voice again, perhaps mum wasn't in good mood. Mum couldn't stop repeating the same word to her. The word is ... stupid. Countless times she heard it.
What she needs is just a soothing voice that will give a little comfort. Mum doesn't know how she feels. Mum is like that, she will expect her daughter to be just like her. But that's hard! Mum was upset... and she thought, "Why can't Mum feel me?? I don't like to hear loud voice and please don't repeat that word for countless times." It was like said every second into her left ear.
So she didn't feel good about it although she knew Mum's intention was for her not to repeat the same mistake again. So nobody was in the wrong, but both parties felt hurt. Mum was thinking why her daughter had not yet grown up like the other girl. While she was thinking, Mum never really understood her, approaching her in a wrong way she couldn't accept.
So the conversation stopped with her hiding her tears, and Mum, perhaps she would never know that her daughter always felt hurt indirectly by her words. Miscommunication?
The girl paused for some time, thinking if she should hurt herself to numb her own feeling. She went for tattoo, intoxicate herself with pills and beers. Finally she decided to leave her Mum behind. She left the city without telling anyone, she would rather try something new and forgot the rest.
Mum lost her, and she lost everything too. It's so easy to break anything. But to come back, perhaps you can never will. Don't take the steps that you will regret! Think twice.
