Car Rides With Mom

Went to KC with the family today, got back, then immediately went back to KC with my mother.  My mother and I are really close, but it hasn't really been like that lately since she decided to take my dad's side with everything and I wasn't gonna play that game. But we had a good car ride home and this is what came out of it.

We started the car ride out with talking about my weekend. That's not really something I want to discuss right now, but I'm glad she expressed interest. We talked about it and she gave me advice. And on top of this weekend, we talked about how AP didn't make it, which sucked.  

We then talked about religion and how I don't want to be catholic. She was totally cool with it. She thinks I'll find a religion and wants me to check out a Christian church sometime. Some of the things she said completely surprised me, but I'm so glad she said them. 

We then kind of talked about Jackson. He was brought up when my mom talked about how I will probably never get married and never have kids. Now, I have never told her that I won't but apparently I "strike [her] as that kind of person." No, I'm not planning on marrying Jackson, I just brought him up showing my mom that I'm interested in boys and wasn't scarred by Corbin. I also told my mom exactly why I wasn't dating him, and I haven't told anyone that except to her. 

We then talked about my future. She brought up a few of my friends that she doesn't really approve of, and she told me exactly why I shouldn't follow their current college plans. She then told me as long as I'm studying general theater, she'd be okay with it. But, she is disappointed a little because I can do anything. According to her. She doesn't believe me when I say that I can't, even though I think I know myself better than anyone right now. She thinks I'm never getting married, never having kids, and never coming back..

We'll see.
