The Make-Up Issue Part#3

What is it -really- To Do Better?? My parents always tell me that I can do better in almost every aspect of my life, but they also see that what I do and have done in my life is something they can feel proud of. They understand that what they think is best does not necessarily mean is what I think is best... basically, they just want to see me happy, whatever that means for ME. Sometimes there are criticisms and disagreements, but what mostly exists is understanding and respect for one another. The idea of happiness is not the same for everyone ... I feel lucky to have had people in my family that, as long as I did no wrong to others, allowed me To Be... Benito Juarez, Mexican president in the 1800, said "Among individuals as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace" This is one of my favorites quotes!! "...respect for the rights of others..." This is wisdom.

I know He (Mr. P) wanted me to Do Better, to Be Better... unfortunately it had to be what HE thought was better, meaning; I needed to continue learning IMPORTANT things, and this, my friends, it also meant what He thought was important... Me wanting to pursue a career in Makeup (we discussed it) was not going to make me better and was not important... And I could go on and on with different examples like this one; bottom line, he wanted to control the reins of my life, without considering what made ME happy. I felt cornered, actually , WAS cornered...

Have you ever tried to trap a mouse? It runs and runs as long as It sees a way out, but once cornered, it attacks you!... it is actually trying to jump over you... that little thing, over you!
That´s what happened to me; I realized that no matter how much I compromised something else was going to come up. He was a bottomless barrel, like we say in Mexico, never satisfied...
