Understanding each other
The conversation was over, but it didn't quite feel finished. Mom and I sat in silence for a moment, staring at our drinks. I think we both realized that we weren't going to agree on everything - and that was okay. "Let's just leave it at that," I suggested, hinting at a truce. She nodded, with a hint of resignation in her eyes. We left the room with a greater awareness of each other, even if a residue of dissatisfaction remained.

On the way to the future
As I ended the conversation, I felt a strange sense of closure. I had made a decision - I was ready to put the past behind me. It was time to focus on making my future better. With a firm resolve, I said to myself, "This chapter is closed." I was no longer going to let her drama hold me back. My own future deserved my full attention, and it was time to let go of the burden of her expectations.
