Circle of life

My mom was talking to me once.
and she told me one thing very interesting.
she said, "Among my children, you remind me the most of myself."

and that made me wonder of course. so i asked how. and she made a list of everything she did when she was a youth and how i am doing the same things now in my own life.

hmmm.... there's a point that i want to bring across. but i cant seem to find the right words to use. so i'll try my best, and hope the meaning comes through.

basically, my mom really has been through the same kind of pain that i have gone through. she said just the other day, "If it weren't for religion, you'd probably have a chinese dad by now."

So i thought about it, and realised that why my mother is so tough on me sometimes in certain aspects is because she's been through the pain before, and she doesnt want me, or the girl, to get hurt. and she'd rather be seen as the bad guy than to let the hurt ever get to me.

but like another trait of my mom, i am stubborn as hell too. hahahaha.... so i still had the experience, and now i've repeated history in a way. so yeah...

lost the train of thought... not sure what i came on to say now either.

haha....

full circle? dont know yet.
