Idk why my mom got upset at me for making songs with lines like “This cruel world” or “The darkness of the skies”
I just want some catharisis¹ okay, what’s wrong with that?
(¹Am I even using this word correctly?)
I think my parents are just boring and doesn’t appreciate art lol…
If this happened suddenly, I would gently monitor but not panic and jump to the worst conclusion. I have a good relationship with my kids. They have different ways of expressing feelings like this and I’m familiar with them because I know them as the people they are. I’m protective of them, of course, but I also try to give them some room.
