Role Model

I am 12 years old. I want to grow and be like my mother and my grandmother. I want to be strong and handle everything like they did. I want to marry and have kids. But I don’t want to be sad like mom or grandma’. I want to be famous. I want people to greet me like in the movies. I want to have a beautiful dress that I can wear on many occasions, not like the one mom has in her closet and never put on because she is too busy cleaning, and working for others. I want to be like her, like them. But I want to fly, to study, to become the woman in my dreams. But I love my mom and my grandmother. I love them and I don’t want them to feel sad. Can I follow my dreams and escape my destiny? The destiny chosen by society, the destiny people feel the urge to give me and to force me to follow?
