food for thought
ranting about my boss again. i asked him at 8+pm if i could come in at 10am instead of 9am since im working late, till 10+pm tonight. he indirectly said no. saying its my job to finish up my work and its basic work pratice to come in on time. the longer i stay, the higher the possibilty that i'll get depression. madness la!
for once, i wonder if this job is just not right for me. everything is just tumbling down, nothing is going smoothly. not to mention the pathetic benefits my boss is offering. i feel lost and deprived.
some people grow up having a mind on its own, some just have to find it. i was watching television the other day, oprah winfrey's show. the topic of the day was healing mothers, healing daughters
- the first case:
Child, Jordyn
a beautiful three-year-old girl, is obsessed with makeup, she gets frustrated when she cant find the perfect outfit and hairstyle . she demands to put on lipstick. when rejected, she screams and cries and tells her mother "i hate you" and "i don't love you." and the amazing thing - her favorite magazines is the Victoria's Secret catalog.
Mom, Margie
in her childhood years, Margie doesn't ever remember being told that she was beautiful. when Jordyn was born, she wanted better for her daughter but missed the mark in making her feel the inner beauty.
- the second case:
Child, Taylor
four-year-old girl, is afraid of becoming fat. she skips breakfast and take a cup of peaches for lunch. Angela, Taylor's mother, asks, "why are you eating fruits and vegetables?" she replied "because it will make you skinny!" her mom added that she'd be sad if she was fat, and she doesn't think fat people are pretty.
Mom, Angela
she once struggled with anorexia. today, she takes only a palm-size of food at mealtimes and exercises every day.
- the third case:
Child, Nikki
Nikki, a teen model and former captain of her soccer team hates the way she look. she feels good when she smashed the mirror, destroying pictures of herself. she wants to see herself the way other people see her but she failed to do so. and she doesnt know the reason.
Mom, Lynn
Lynn has a family legacy of low self-esteem. she was not value by her mother even though she excelled academically. she suffered from low self-image, she cries and complains about her appearance.
Dr. Robin, the pyschologist, says mothers unconsciously hand down their insecurities to their children. "i call it the passing through the womb wound," she says. "as you were birthing your child through the birth canal, what is passed on are our wounds. … it's a generational curse that must be broken."
i thought it made sense. prob you can think about it.
