I know (like my English teacher or something) my secret, or should I hold on to it?
I’m 17 and, well, an experience about 3 months ago revealed to me the extent of my mother's love. It was like a love greater than I could imagine--a love so great that it opened my eyes, and immediately I was a lot wiser. Eventually, all my fears, insecurities, and selfish desires dissolved—I had overcome them. It’s so weird, feeling like an adult in a teen’s body—truly amazing really; it’s a gift for which I’m grateful.
I’ve even reached that point where it’s like… I don't think my mom was a good parent, but I...love her. It's just that I understand. It's so weird, because I used to be so mad at her --but I totally forgive her and want her to feel loved like she deserves. I mean people are flawed, and they're not perfect--but somehow, it's our responsibility to rise past that and love wholeheartedly despite every else. You know... it is pain that guides us to try to understand and eventually build up our wisdom to a point where all we see in ourselves is love. It is then that it doesn't matter that the person hurt us, because we're above it. The truth is that everyone deserves to be loved despite imperfections and flaws.
Loll I’m looking forward to AP English essays now, because my compassion and understanding of the human condition is so much broader now due to one experience that completely opens your mind and the alluring desire to understand more and more—and I’m so excited about life now, that I’m learning things everyday. It was a complete change in me, and somehow I keep wanting to improve myself in all ways big and small.
So should I keep this a secret or not?
