Parent—Child: Filtered thoughts and untold meanings
This will kinda end up as a personal challenge. Sort of. [For those who are parents: What would you like to say for your child? Your dreams for them, your expectations, has there been disappointment? Was there a time your child had done something you aren't completely okay with, and had you told them you forgive them? Which experience did you your child rebelled so much? Why do you think they rebelled? Did they ever rebelled against you? How many times did you cried for your child? Any mistakes you didn't notice up until now unless you contemplate on it? How much do you think you know them well?] [For those who were once a child and those who's not yet a parent: What are the words you couldn't tell to your parents? Did you slipped your tongue and wasn't supposed to say those words? How many times did you keep it in until your feelings burst? What do you want to show them? Has there been disappointment in your part? Have you forgiven them? How much do you understand your parents? How much do you think you know them well?] So how much of those questions and answers conveyed in real life? Both positive and negative thoughts. Here's another challenge, the personal part. If there was, and your feelings aren't properly conveyed to them, slowly and gently communicate. This challenge is just an emotional trash dumping. Dump your craps here then tell those things to them, in a good approach. However, it's your choice to follow it through the end. I'll be dumping mine too.

I SPy wiTH my LiTtle eYe

One life to live. Me and my story. How can I see it any other way? You are no longer here to hear about what you did to me, or observe the scars. If you were, would you care? What does it matter? Red is the color of blood, divided by air is the color of nothing, and I am the only one still breathing so where is the evidence?

Why didn't you just get in the car and go rob a bank, or pull out a six gun out of thin air and shoot me in the head? Every day I get to wake up and remind myself to be grateful that you didn't, and then I go about my day singing a song that you never heard, so who exactly is it that has the last laugh?

But I was not there when you were burned at the stake, when you swore that you would never do to me what they did to you. Unanswered questions are like unread fortune cookies, fine print thrown out in the trash, along with the chopsticks and brown bag stained with grease.

It's okay. I forgive you. There is no time to waste on the past, not even a nanosecond, because if I do, I remain guilty.

My Beautiful Lovelies

My beautiful lovelies. My precious babies. All I can hope for is for both of you to be wonderful people. To be able to stand up for yourselves, to love instead of hate, to respect unless disrespected, to experience love and heartbreak and love again, to find something you truly enjoy doing and to be happy and accepting of who you are. There's so much I want for you both, but so much I'm unable to give you. Sometimes I feel sorry that I might not be competent enough for a mother for you guys but, regardless, I try my best everyday. I hope that you guys are able to live long lives, but secretly I feel guilty for birthing you two into a dying world.

You guys are far too young to have caused me any disappointments, but I'm overloaded with my own for not being able to start you guys off with the life I hoped I could. I promised myself that I would never bring either of you into this world in the same situation that I was in, but I failed to keep it. I'm sorry I couldn't do better. Not just me, but your father too, are doing everything we can to make sure you guys can spend the rest of your childhood in a place we were never able to spend ours.

All I can truly wish for is the happiness for my beautiful lovelies.
