People are what we perceive them to be. When I look at someone, namely my mom, I see them as everything they've ever done, not who they really are. Hence me reverting to the kid when I lived with my grandparents. The point is, when I can stop seeing people are all that they've done instead of who they are now, then I'll finally be able to move on with my life. When I look at them, I don't even see them anymore, I only see the reflections of the worst and best in me.
