Deborah, what you wrote above… Wowee! I wish at 30, or even later, when I EXPLODED at my mom, verbally, I think I was 36, for… well, never mind what for…but I wish I had opted to pen such an eloquent letter to her versus exhibiting raw emotion. I don’t do raw emotion well. I don’t know or like myself in that mode. And it was all for naught. She didn’t process one thing I said–she only sought an apology. Of which I gave.

But I digress, back to you…@ 30, that’s the 1st Saturn Return, and that’s when you wrote this. I’m so deeply impressed. I know some 30 year olds right now that couldn’t articulate this well in any context–written or voiced.

We live in a world that believes that being
single is something that needs to be desperately cured–Pronto! You rested that notion, here. Young people gotta embrace being more emotionally independent and know that you give love not to ‘get’ love but to become Love.

An acquaintance, Alexyss K. Tylor (a Sag), has a you tube video titled “Mama-Daughter”, that just came to mind. Now, she’s profane and fiery, but she speaks to the “mother-daughter” or even “older woman–younger woman” phenomenon very passionately. Check it out, if you like.

Also came to mind, that scene in the movie “Waiting to Exhale” where Whitney Houston’s (Savannah) character is explaining to her mom over the phone how she should notice the +s in her life versus only noticing what she [the mother] deemed as minuses. Very moving scene/ dialogue; well, it was to me.

Not only with mother-daughter or older lady/younger lady relationships, “relating” period, in my observations, how most females treat one another is of caustic curious note. I used to chalk it up to mere “common cattiness,” now I think it’s much more than that–more chemical. And as we know “Emotions are Chemically Addictive.”

In biology class we were taught that females are “acidic” & males are “alkaline,” and how dis-ease thrives in an acidic constitution. Somehow, I wonder if it’s [the cat factor] more related to chemistry vs. socialization? Perhaps it’s all cumulative? #justathought I’m an air sign, with a stell of air in my chart–all I do is think. Smiles…

I’ll close now…cause once I put on the mad-scientist cap, I can speculate for eons.

Again, thanks for allowing us in, Ms. S. ;-)
