The One Month Trial

Preface

Elli

Senior Year... Wawo!

I actually reached such phase where I can finally be what I want, act how I want, and most importantly, live where I want...

Since the beginning of the year I've been very active about applying to colleges, looking for scholarships – which I'm still struggling with- and generally doing by best to have the most opportunities I can get.

I know I somehow sound Helpless, but I've always wanted to get out of this life. I've always wants to live in a quiet yet friendly place, far away of everything here. I also want to live somewhere near Or with my best friends, Kylie andMaya,  and be roommates. I really love spending time with them- we've been together for... like... 13 FREAKING YEARS! Since KG times.However, I can't be happier  leaving school. Oh! How much I hate such facility!

When life gives you lemon, you make lemonade, right?

OK, but what will you do when life gives you my mom?! I now that sounds a little bit harsh but you don't know Lily Simons.

My mom, Lily, as sometimes I call her, is soo beautiful. She's somehow 5'4 or less, pretty short, shall I say, but she's in love with heels- she's every type and shape of heels since the 90's, which amazes me sometimes as I can't remember when did she buy all of that amid raising me, and my two brothers, Malcom and Daniel. She has a perfect curvy figure, an hour-glass shape, with sun-kissed skin and beautiful round face, thin lips, and pointy hazel eyes. The only feature that gets you laughing and sometimes baffled is her nose... OMG! Mom's nose is big and tall, you can somehow relate it to a mixture of the peak of a woodpecker and a gorilla's nose. (just want you to get the full image here)

Despite her sweet nature and her motherly attitude, she's one of a hell of a stubborn woman! I told her many times that marriage is not what I'm thinking about at the moment - at the peak moment of my life, where I'm actually growing in my work life! However, as a stubborn woman she is, her BFFs daughter, Sarah, is the one she has for me- she even convinced the little girl that I'm her one and only! We are, as she said, very close to each other's, we know each other's very well and even about the same age, since I'm 27 and she's 25. That's not it! We also have been living in the same neighborhood, same block for as as I can remember! We have gone to the same school and baby day care, so whenever I think about her, I think she's more of a friend than a lover- even a little sister that I have to take care of whenever she's around. On the other hand, since the lady has been brainwashed, she can't wait for us to "unite"!!

That being said, my mom is somehow one, tiny problem; the other problem is that.. I guess.. I have phobia from marriage. I don't know! It seems frightening like hell: marrying, then children, then rising house bills, then schools, then the woman gets tired and I get to raise the children- that's all alongside my Job! I have a big car agency, so it's hard for me to keep up lots of things or events in my schedule. I wake up at 5 am and come home at 5pm which gives no room for much of activities in my day. I barely have time to visit my family's house every weekend, let alone having a marital life! Besides, I don't feel that way for Sarah; she's like my sister since childhood- and my feelings don't bother to change.

I honestly confronted mom about my feeling for Sarah, and every time her response was the same: "feelings change ,Theo. By time ,feelings change."

That being said, I - "by time"- stopped going to my family's home unless invited, and even if I am, I'll be trying my best to make excuses not to go there.. My mom always makes my visits so horrible: she starts off with hugs and kisses, then off to the kitchen where she takes Sarah (Sara is always there- ALWAYS) and both make some kind of food; mom presents the food as Sarah's creation and she seats her next to me, and Mom and her friend keep talking about "our future" together. It's been like this for years... Even Dad couldn't convince her that I don't like Sarah, so he keeps himself out of it.

    So have been my days: from work to my house, sometimes I go to one of my brother's houses, since both of them are married, and hang out with them or we all go out together to watch a movie or hang in a bar. And definitely, Sunday I go to the church ( I am catholic and ,surprisingly, very religious). Not much straying from that scenario.

      But recently I've been aching for for a change. I can't stand all of this.... lame... uniform life! I just want a getaway pass from my life for just a little while, just a week even! I need to clear my mind from Sara, work, my mom- heck! I want to clear myself from myself!
  
    Just a little while....
