"My dear mom, I love you and forgive you for whatever you might hear from what I'm about to tell you...

I've been needing to tell you for a while that when you shout, I get very scared. You become so huge in my eyes, like a giant monster that will devour me.

I make some mistakes, often I don't listen to you, I might even be very mischievous. But this is my way of discovering and exploring the world."
