Woke up this morning to a Bocaj shouting my name outside my window.
Smiled back at the bailiffs mustache.
Mind you, I'm awake a lot earlier than I have been in a long time.
Hair's a fuzz and eyes are glossy.
At least West Covina dispenses pineapple scented soap to their visitors.
Came home, but I don't live here. I'm just welcomed by everyone that...

Today I am 22. At 12:03 p.m
I've been wondering how old I really am, seeing as how we don't really follow moon weeks. In my opinion, I think everything would go a lot smoother we followed a new to full moon cycle. I would consider 12 months of 12 complete lunar cycle a whole thorough year. But, there seems to be some other system...

It's been a tough past two months..
Well, my living is easy. But, changing is not.
All of these modifications I've been making for myself has caught the attention of people close to me, and they're reacting negatively. First was my change in diet which my mom is always picking on. No longer am I eating what she cooks, and often I try to persuade...

The people closest to you don't want you to change, 'cos then they'll have to change, too. They will eventually catch up with you.

I'm sorry to hear that you have been having difficulty with your relatives. They may need time to accept your life choices and maybe they will always keep on acting as if they know best. No matter how grown up you may be, they may always see you as a little girl going through a fad or a phase. The important thing is that as an adult you have made your choices and you have the right to stick to them and everyone else can moan, snipe or criticise you as much as they like but you and only you are now responsible for your destiny and your life. The things that people say can only have power over you if you let them, so you need to just let their comments go over your head. I appreciate that it is difficult to do this when the people closest to you are the ones making the remarks. However, although you feel isolated when at home, there are thousands of other people around the world who have made the choices that you have made, so you are not alone, not at all. You are part of a growing forward-looking, international community. Be true to yourself.
Also, I am sorry to hear about your mum's diabetes. I also have relatives with diabetes. Some have had diabetes since they were children (Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus, caused by an inability to produce insulin) and some developed it in later life (Non-Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus, caused by their cells gradually becoming insensitive to insulin, a condition which it seems more and more people are developing as they get older). While diabetes is a condition which can be managed in order to reduce its impact on health, it ultimately will impact on health sooner or later and the lifestyle decisions made by a person who has the disease will determine the "sooner or later" part. Eating foods rich in simple sugars, over eating in general and inadequate exercise can all contribute to the "sooner" part.
The only thing you can do as a relative of someone who has diabetes (or any other condition which can shorten someone's lifespan) is hope that they take the doctor's advice about how to manage their condition and make the most of the time you have with them. I have no idea how advanced your mum's condition is so for all I know you may have years and years left with her, or you may have a much shorter time.
When I was around 19 years old, I was annoyed with my dad and broke off contact with him. I didn't call him, write to him or make any effort to speak with him for years and years. Much later when I was 34, I received a phone call from my auntie informing me that my dad was very ill having fallen down the stairs and was in hospital. She told me that he'd been there all week but word had only just reached her due to my step-mum and my dad's relatives not talking to each other. When we got to the hospital he was not there. It turned out that he had died and been moved from the ward already. Apparently, my dad had been suffering from dementia for years. No one had thought to get in touch with me to tell me this. I never had the chance to make peace with my dad, but then again, it could be said that I had had 15 years to make peace with my dad. Hence, it is important to make the most of the time you have with your family, even if they can be a pain in the arse at times. I appreciate that this can be difficult if there are problems between you and your mum, but I can only suggest trying to focus on the good things about your relationship and letting the bad things pass over your head. Tough though it is, being able to manage your emotions in the face of situations that are hostile or that test you, is as much a part of your spiritual journey as changing your diet. Best of luck.
