The New "Bitch" In School

-Flashback-
"Okay it's your turn" he said as he blew out his candle. We started this special ritual to tell each other a secret, write it down, then set it ablaze to keep it sacred.

"Sometimes I think my mom deserves it when dad hits her." I said bowing my head in shame.
"Most people think that they HAVE to love whoever made them, when really they can choose to love who helped build them. She may have made you but she never supported you and that can be the reason why you hate her. Anyone can get boned and have a kid. But it takes a true woman/man, a true human being to take care of their creation and love it unconditionally. To make a kid is easy, but to have a child is a true privilege only few have." He said as he lifted my head up so I can face him.
He took my paper and burned it. We watched the smoke go up through the window as we stared at the stars.
"Why are you so wise? You're only 9. That's not normal!" I said in disbelief.

"Normal is an illusion."
