What a sad experience. I really feel for you.
I really hope life has started to treat you better, the way you deserve.
It's very difficult for me to believe that a mother could be so terrible to a daughter, blood of her blood!
I can't imagine it at all, my mother is an angel and all her life she dedicated to me . my brother and dad.
Now that dad's paased away to heavenly bliss, she helps her elder sisters and her brother in law who are old and need help. sHE HAS A HEART OF GOLD. i DON'T KNOW where she gets the energy sometimes!
Than you for sharing such a personal experience which filled me with emotion and sadness and touched the bottom of my heart.
Sure sounds like you had a rough time in your school days.
Glad your present is much rosier.
I couldn't help smiling about your haircut. It reminded me of when I was about 23 and I went to a really trendy hairdresser in venice. Paid lots for the cut too.
They cut my fringe really short, almost like a monk. LOL
That evening I was supposed to go to a birthday party and I looked really digusting.
I got to the party and was very embarassed. One of my male friends laughed and told me I looked like william tell without the apple on his head, whatever that meant. LOL I laugh about it now but I was so embarassed at the time.
Snap! I know just how you feel, only I'm opposite to you I'm fine with friends and family , even fun to be with. People say I make them crack up.
The problem is when I'm alone with a guy I like.
Sometimes I just haven't got the courage to speak.
They must think I'm a different person, because they perhaps meet me with my friends and I seem outgoing and then they find a different person.
A bit like Mr Jekyl and Doctor Hyde LOL
I'm glad things turned out in the end.
I'm sorry you had to pass such a negative experience in your adolescence days.
To make you feel better I'd like to tell you that even though mum loved and loves me to bits I always got the blame as I was the oldest of two. My brother Roberto was 5 years younger than me , so I was always getting told that I should know better.
I think the oldest child always get the blame somehow.
But the cutest thing was that if either of my parents told me off my sweet brother would stick up for me.
I remember with some amusement the first times I would go to the discos in my teens, I would get home later than I promised and my parents would be fuming.
My brother would be looking outside the window , waiting for me to arrive and he'd go to my parents and say ' Don't trell her off, ' cause I've already told her off'!
My parents would just laugh so he got me out of trouble most times. I love him to bits.
Even now that he has a 16 year old son and separated , we get on like a house on fire.
Thanks for sharing your difficult chilhood.
I'm so happy that you never lost your smile on the way!
I really enjoyed reading your story.
Very emotional and sad at the same time.
I felt sorry for Omar. It's sad that even nowadays fixed marriages still exist. True love is not always the case and Omar's experience is evidence.
I love reading about India. This November I visited and travelled throughout Rajistan. Loved it and would like to return and see the south the next time.
I really enjoyed this poem in free verse.
It was well writtena and with good layout.
In some parts I felt it didn't flow very well.
E.g the last verse I feel it is broken up by too many commas and it doesn't flow very well.
Apart from this I found the piece full of emotion,
sadness and describes the experience of the difficulty of growing up.
Thank you for this spiritual tour which took me in a magical , mystical plunge into life.-
It was perfectly written and explained fully.
Your words flowed well and made me feel as if I was
in now where land with all these threads of life surrounding me.
Self-awareness is a precious circumstance and a blessing for those who reach it.
Congratulations for winning the Grand prize in Jessie's contest. I know you won it some time ago, but I just happened to look at the Authors Jessie gifted with an awardicon, and found your piece there.
I can understand your feelings. How is your relations ship now with your father?
I think perhaps if you tried talking to your father frankly, showing him your own personality and character, he could get to know you better.
Maybe your relationship could improve and these resentments you have for him chould change.
Sometimes even small misunderstandings can cause tragic wars.
I think he should meet you half way though and try to understand that your another person and haven't got his ambitions and hobbies.
I saw your piece in Mavis Moogs short story NL.
Well done and congratulations for being put in her pick of the week.
I enjoyed reading this short story and agree with Mavis, that even though short is quite strong and has a twist at the end.
'
I wonder if that'He' she's waiting for is her brother, her father or an animal? I'll keep my suspense until you answer me.
