I Guess It Is Time To Give Up?

[LittleTreeGuy]

I had a mother that said no to a LOT of things I wanted (or thought I wanted) while I was growing up and living at home... in HER house.

Well, I got a job and moved out when I was 19. I got some tattoos. I get one every few years. I like them. I bought myself a skateboard for my 30th birthday and learned to skate. She would never let me have one, but I still had that passion for wanting to do it. I gave it up after a few months. Falling down hurt too much. She never wanted me to have a remote controlled airplane. I now have about ten and have been flying for about 15 years. She never let me have a pet. I've had a dog for 12 years, cat for 11 years, I've had fish on and off, and I got a snake last year. I'm 39.

Morale of the story, as others have said... be patient. If it's really a "dream" of yours, you can make it happen. Sometimes you have to work to make it happen, and it may take longer than you want, but use that time to learn more about what you want... then when the time comes, you can spend more time enjoying it and not having to quickly learn all about it.

I'm guessing you're a bit younger than I am, so you probably don't want to hear this, but please, respect and love your mother. You've only got one, and one day you'll look back and wish you could have hugged her a little more, told her you loved her a little more, and you'll miss her. Keep in good and do as right as you can by your mom. Good things come to those who wait.
