Had a fight with my mother. Had to come here to vent, because the issues that were brought up were between differences between her and other members of my family I love just the same, and it wouldn’t be fair to drag them into this vicious cycle.
You just can’t be everything to everybody, and reconciling these differences between all the people in your life eventually leads to impasses. I’m at one now, but how can I complain? I’m part of the problem. Everyone is.
I don’t know how to verbalize it any other way. I hope my family can grasp this. If people can just stop complaining about the traffic, and realize we’re all on the same damn road. Let that person in front of you. Stop fighting it, and let that person merge, or be a little more tolerant of the slow guy in the fast lane. We’re all just trying to get home.
So, with that, to my mom: I’m letting you cut in, because we all need grace. I will too someday…
