mom, what if i can't live up to your expectations?

you told me to grow up well, have a decent job, build my own family and live a fairytale in which no one runs away. you want me to grow up seamlessly, flawlessly navigate the twists and turns of life. however, life doesn't always unfold like a fairytale. challenges and uncertainties abound, and sometimes, despite our best efforts, some things just aren't meant to be. mom, i'm not too sure, but i think i want to plant a primrose garden near the abandoned railway wagon. the very place where i realized that i might possess a pig's brain instead of a human one. just like an idiot, my feelings are blooming in an unconventional space, far from comfortability, nowhere near stereotypical. my heart is brimming with uncertainty and i fear falling, i fear stumbling, yet an odd bravery inside me decides to keep embracing the uncertainty. mom, what if i can't live up to your expectations? i apologize. i can't promise you a fairy tale. i can't pledge sweet dreams and my narrative doesn't weave idle fantasies. but i'm selfish, so in the midst of all that, i still want you to be my mom; because my heart is a moving train and i will drive you to a sunnier place.

so, please be my mom. regardless of how idiotic my pig brain is and how quickly my primrose garden will wilt. no promises of perfection, just the commitment to ride the moving train together, through storms and sunshine, selfishness and selflessness, through seasons of loving and longing.
