Can't believe how long it took me to post this X.X;;
I 'survived' an entire year in middle school with a class where every single person either didn't like me or thought I was too weird to talk too. They tried to exclude me, bully me. They spread rumors based on the fact I just didn't fit in their description of a normal person.
I came out stronger than ever and am sometimes even glad for it. Cause if it wasn't for their attempts to drag me down I wouldn't have ever risen above them. Despite all their efforts, after all those years; I still have abnormally long hair. I still don't wear make-up, ever. I don't drink a single drop of alcohol. Still am and will always be an obsessive Potterhead. I don't follow fashion, I wear what I like. I daydream at least half of the time and rather discuss books, movies or Harry Potter than cosmetics, boys and short skirts. I'm still above average weight, probably far above it.
I am who I am because of them and sometimes even feel the need to get up in their face and tell them that.
Yet all of it seems for naught the moment you make a comment. I don't exactly know how I managed to brush off every single one of their insults, rumors or plain nasty things but find myself randomnly bursting into tears or crying myself to sleep whenever I dwell too much on what comment you casually let pass during the day.
I'm afraid. Scared that one day I won't be able to keep all of it in anymore and just burst into tears. In public. I don't want to make a scene like that. Especially since I feel like I shouldn't take it so hard. But I do, sweet Salazar, I do. Maybe it's because it's you, my own mother. Instead of a class of wannabe little sluts.
Just a few hours ago at lunch we discussed something similar. Another situation entirely and yet every comment you made about it seemed like a dagger through my heart. I felt so..Empty. Not a good word possible to describe the pain I feel when you tell everyone that making nasty comments about your kids' health or habits just isn't going to help nothing and that it makes them a terrbile mother. Leaving me to bitterly think that that is exactly what you freaking do yourself almost every single day.
Every single thing I say, every conversation and every topic that comes up. You find a way. You sneak em in like it's just a casual thing you just noticed. You'd make a terrible Slytherin, you know? Absolutely terrible.
You have the taste for being an arrogant bitch, I'll give you that.
But you absolutely fail at being sneaky about it.
I'm just so confused, mom.
And hurt most of all.
I just guess I'm not as strong as I always thought I was. That year hasn't changed anything after all. It definitely made me stronger on the outside, but so very fragile within. And I don't know how much longer I can keep it in. I need to keep it in, you know. I feel as if people expect me to. I'm so tough mom. I'm the reliable one. I'll always listen, offer advice. I always know what to say. I keep it in for everyone else's sake. But Merlin you're making it hard not to snap.
Especially with the way you know exactly how to hurt me where it matters most. Cause I'm sure you knows how much your comments must hurt. Then again, if you did know, wouldn't you stop?
