Today I cleaned my room and the bathroom on time. I was a little disapointed that I didn’t get to go to Ariana’s sleepover or the movie but a day without doing anything fun is an extra day to earn doing something fun right? I had a lot of different emotions today with my parents and friends. Isabella had a hard day and I wish I could be there for her. My mom got in trouble with my parents and Ariana’s parents. I had a lot hurtful feelings toward my mother and Ariana at first, but then after I talked to her I had a lot of mixed feelings. Sometimes I just wish that people would learn the term “forgive and forget” which means in my case to forgive my mom for doing that and tell her to change again and then just forget the whole thing ever happened and let everything go on as it planned. That way I don’t have to remember a lot of details. I don’t have a great memory either. I mean its terrible, I’ll remember if my mom says something while I;m there but then when she’s not I completely forget. Its like I just hear it but don’t run it through my brain. I think I have a pretty good chance that I will be a very very memorable old lady, but my doctor says I’m very healthy, and I’m so very grateful for that. Now I have to unload the dishes (something I really don’t feel like doing) but I will be helping out so you know. Also since theres no school tomorrow I think I might watch a show with my mom. Because you know the saying “When in Rome...”

ReplyDeleteI think that sometimes using the forgive and forget method leaves us with unresolved feelings, meaning maybe we had some feelings to deal with and we just couldn't handle it at the time, so we push it deep down. The problem is that we might forget to deal with those feelings and they might come out in a different way, or hurt someone else's feelings, and we don't want to do that! I think writing things out is a really good way to express those feelings in a safe way and safe place (like here) so that you don't have to forget things happened, but you can move on! So maybe next time when you go to your moms and she says stuff, you can write down how it made you feel, and then its gone to a safe place, and then if she ever brings it up again, you just have to check what you wrote! She might have hurt feelings if she told you something important and you forgot, so this way its all written down and safe. I think you will be a very memorable adult, not just an old lady! You have a really great sense of humor, a lot of spirit and are very kind. Its really neat that I get a chance to watch you grow up, and maybe even help a bit!
