On Friday, we spent most of the day with our groups preparing our presentations. My group members and I went to the library to work on some research and writing out information about our own cultures. Our task for the weekend was to take some short films and pictures during the week so we can combine and edit our work together Friday after class. In class we learned about the different levels in relationships.
After I started taking this course it has helped me realize things about myself that I didn't pay attention too before, for example when the professor makes the remarks about not being good enough, I do laugh because I picture someone saying it to themselves over and over in front of a mirror. But that's how I feel about my parents especially my mother, enough is never enough for her and even though it's hard because I'm so focus on pleasing her and making her happy I do have to try to live and make myself happy. When I was younger I decided to do the complete opposite of what my parents wanted me to do just to annoy them but I ended up only hurting myself in the long run. So after I got myself together I thought pleasing mom and dad was the right thing to do to keep us happy and avoid future arguments but of course that doesn't work. But when I do try to only focus on pleasing myself my mom always finds a way to switch it up and say I don't care about her and I'm being selfish. Maybe I'll move far away, preferable to California or somewhere in Europe and I won't have to worry about it LOL, that has always been my plan.
