Until we Meet

Story

There was a girl. Just a little girl. She is happy, happy to be around. To explore, to see all the colors life has to offer. She is interested. She is outgoing. She is curious. All she wants is to know how the world is spinning. She sees the wonders, the sunshine, the grace of being. She is happy, just a little girl. With parents that are afraid. Afraid of any harm coming to her. So they hide her, keep her. And at first it looks like an act of love, of caring for her. But when she gets older, she is not only held and kept from going out. She is shushed because she is too loud. She is scolded for asking too many questions. She is sent to her room because she is too much take right now. Right now and today and the whole rest of the week. She is too much and yet she could do more. She could thrive. Because she has so much potential. Because they gave her so much. She could make them so proud. If she would only try harder. If she would only be better. If only she would not make any mistakes. Sometimes she is a mistake. She is a problem they can’t take. Because their life is already full enough, hard enough, loud enough.

But come here, child! We are always there for you. Family forever and over all. You are one of us but you have to earn it. Have to work harder than all the others to belong, to have your place. But your place is here, here with us, nowhere else. We will never let you be anywhere else because you have to be with us- if you are good enough, if you are not too much, too loud, too nosy. We want you here with us. Always. But be a good girl! Look, that’s how it is done. Don’t be yourself, be better. Be our child. Take my hand, I will lead you. Away from all the nonsense in your head. I will show you what life is really like. I will tell you how to behave, how we want you to be. And then, if you oblige, you will have your place. Right next to us. No space will part us because we are so close. Us against the whole world because the world is cruel. It will crush you while we protect you, we care for you. Just shush when we say you should. Believe us, it is better for you. We can talk about everything but we do not want to hear about your feelings-it is not good for you, to suppose you are special, to think you are important. What you are feeling, little deer, it’s in your head and your head is wrong. So stick with us because we know the truth. We know your truth. Because we know better, what is better for you. We will tell you who you are. Who are you without us, anyway? We made you, gave you everything, gave our last to let you become who you are today. Your success is owed to us. And of that we are proud, are you not? We care so much, so so much about you. We will protect you from all evil, from the world, from your own bubbly mind. Don’t chase those dreams like the sunshine. Don’t meet new people to listen to their sick ideas. Don’t go out to get killed by tick bites or raped by faux friends. We will be there for you. We will be everything for you. You don’t need the world, you do’t need to be happy. When we need you and you need us.

Until the end of time.
