My mom thinks I’m a failure, just because I don’t yet have a career and I can’t go to bed on time. She seems to have no respect for the idea of me doing film full time. Granted, I do need to push myself to actually make films rather than sit around at my computer. Regardless, my mom is completely oblivious to any projects I’m working on or internal conflicts. She thinks I just do nothing out of laziness without seeing the nuance of a troubled psyche. Now she’s threatening to kick me out of the house even though I have no job and I’m just about to start university. She berates me for not hanging out with friends IRL as if it were so fucking easy. She just doesn’t understand me on any level.
