SO
this morning 
BEFORE I got out of bed
I did my whole
GRATITUDE 
& affirmations thing
where I am also grateful for the awesome day
I'm gonna have 

my mom was coming at 1:15
I mean not really 
that was the planned time
BUT 
I knew it would be 
AFTER that 
BUT 
it was pretty close

BUT 
THEN
when I got in the car
we were suddenly not going to the place we always go for lunch
& something else changed too, I think 

& I freaked out a little 
& raised my voice
& she's all LIKE 

if that's what the therapy is getting me
I'm gonna stop paying for it 
right now

SO
we're at lunch
& I'm not talking 
& she's LIKE 

TRY 
not to be angry at me

& I'm LIKE 
I'm NOT ANGRY

I'm just thinking about how
I got upset
& RATHER than ask me
if I'm okay 
or ANYTHING 

YOU 
GO IMMEDIATELY to 
how you're going to 
TAKE AWAY 
FROM ME 
SOMETHING that is HELPFUL to me 

AND
THAT
makes me SAD more than anything 

AND
I'm just processing 
HOW I got from my 
GRATITUDE meditation
& my expectations for a great day
to THIS

BUT 
of course 
she doesn't get it

I understand her enough 
I'm not interested in 
FIGURING her out
ANYMORE 

THAT is WHO she IS
