Dear Cody
I cried a lot last night
My mom
She's something else
She doesn't support me
In anything
You knew I wanted to be a tattoo artist or piercer when I got old enough
She basically said that was a bad idea
And I would be better off doing a factory job
No
You know what I told her?
I said
Mom
I would rather have a job that I loved and didn't pay as much
Than a job that I hated but got a lot of money
She was silent
And said fine
But I knew what she wanted me to be
A doctor
A vet mostly
Because they made money
I love animals
But I couldn't work with them
I get dizzy when I see real blood
Don't get me wrong
I watched all of the Saw movies
But I knew better
They were fake
I don't think I could handle much real blood like that
Except on tv
Not when I'm the one doing the surgery
Things like that
But anyway
I asked you a question last night
I don't know if you listened or not
I asked if it gets better
If maybe it's better wherever you are
No response
Just like always
But that's ok
Because I'm used to it by now...
