parents.

one of the things my mother does that annoys me the most is when she's upset with you, she'll act upset, but she won't tell you what you did wrong. she just gets all quiet and when she has to answer questions they're very short. she'll also usually slam stuff and stomp around, but dear god don't ask what it was you did wrong. then she'll get even more mad, but still won't tell you.

i caught myself doing this today.

and it pissed me off because it was something simple and petty and 10 minutes later i was no longer upset by it. but i still acted just the way my mother does when she's upset. the way that annoys me so much. the way that makes me want to scream at her because i can't fix what i did wrong if she won't tell me what it is i did.

but i continued to do it anyway.

i can't help but feel like we're doomed to become our parents, try as we might to distance ourselves from them and live our lives completely different from the way they lived theirs.
