Nicola, your husband is just like your son, as they say, like father, like son.

Nicola: Well, it’s true. My sweet Jimmy has always acted like his father and he’s doing it so well

Do your parents or grandparents talk about their lives/when they were your age?

My Mother always tells me about her childhood. How she was more flexible and more adventurous than I am. I also know that she was very good at making everything already by the time she was my age. She was able to make all her own meals and clothes if she needed to.

Yesterday my pops told me "I always wanted y'all to make sure that if you're going to go to college for something, make sure that it's marketable and stable." I didn't say anything concerning that, but he could further from the point of higher education and its true necessity.

If you're going to go to college for something, make sure that it's something that you want to do. Upon leaving your institution of choice, you will more than likely spend about a good 45 years working in that field. Why waste your precious life doing something that somebody else wants you to do, even if it is your parent? Do whatever it is that you want to do, because there will come a time when your parents are dead and gone, and 9 times out of 10, you will be alive when that happens. You will live on after them, and you have one life and one life only, so why waste it doing something you don't want to do?

Don't let your parents kill your dreams, and don't let your view on chance/possibility/probability, and the "market" of your field deter you from your dreams. What I've come to learn is that regardless of what it is that someone chooses to do, if they put enough work into their dreams and goals, they can succeed, do well, and live the life they want to live. So in life, do what interests you, and do what you love to do, because at the end of the day, tending to your own happiness is mighty important on that totem pole of priorities.

Why did you pick science? Why couldn't you have done something NORMAL? Like... Like making bouquets like your mothers! Dear god, Caroline, what you're doing is a MAN'S job! (((ITHURTTOWRITETHISOGHGD

Send messages as my muses parents about my muse’s life choices.

"The reason I chose Science was not because I wanted to make you so incredibly disturbed, sir. I did not choose a normal job because I myself am not normal. I decided not to be so average and look at me now. 

I’ve achieved more than the world has done. 

No thanks to bouquets.”

Having parents that want you to talk to them but then they go and bad mouth everything you stand for.

Me : I can play some Of Mice & Men for you if it would help pass the time.

Dad : No, I don't need to listen to squeaky mice or loud men, thank you.
