Dear Diary.

I can decide to forgive my parents and love them.

I can decide that I will forget everything they did and start fresh.

I can decide that I will leave the past to rest.

I can decide all those things and be clear in my intention.

But the truth of the matter is, I can only meet them half way and they should willingly do the same by putting the same efforts.

Otherwise it just won’t work.

I tried to make sense of mother’s behaviour but I couldn’t.

She lacks emotional maturity and the ability to understand things even after communicating multiple times.

They don’t respect my words.

I hurt them yesterday, yes. But they asked for it.

We just don’t work.

I’ve tried to make it work by putting efforts all my life but honestly, this is beyond me.
