Anywhere but Here

Being forced to grow up and age faster than you are supposed to is hard. Having to be the adult for your mother because she is always going through something is a struggle. And sometimes I resent my mother for making me do that. But I have to remember that we are growing together. I know I’m not the perfect son, and she knows she not the perfect mother. But at the end of the day we are still trying the best we can to be what the other person needs. It’s just hard when you are a child and you are stressing about rent, if we are moving again, or literally telling your mother that she needs to breakup with her bum boyfriend. But ultimately I learned so much from her, even just through observation. Anyways I love this movie, and I love my mom. “And even if you hate her, can't stand her, even if she's ruining your life, there's something about her, some romance, some power. She's absolutely herself. No matter how hard you try, you'll never get to her. And when she dies, the world will be flat, too simple, reasonable, fair.”
