When I was young, my parents were strict about getting into relationships. But, now that I'm an adult and prioritizes career first, they're pushing me to get married and have kids.
In the past, my mother would cook for me but now she nags me to cook for myself.
When I was in school, my parents would call me and check how I was but now, they rarely do.
I asked my parents for money when I needed something but now, I have to work to be able to buy the things I need.
When I encountered problems in my studies, I confronted my parents. But now, I have to solve my own problems, not telling them anything in order for them not to worry.
Transitioning from youth to being an adult sure is hard. Changes are evident and I understand that very well. An adult should learn to be independent!
But...
I still need my mom when visiting the doctor! I freak out just imagining myself going alone!
And so, when I was sick, I didn't go to the hospital. My mother kept telling me to go but I was hard headed.
She called one time and heard me cough. She nagged and lectured about coughs not being treated is dangerous.
The next day, she came banging at my door and brought me to the hospital for a check up.
