Preparate i fazzoletti: la lettera aperta di Angelina Jolie sul “Time” appena uscita

Avete gia sottolineato tutti i punti salienti della lettera aperta di Angelina Jolie sul TIME ai genitori? No?

 

Dear Parents,

I am thinking of you. I am imagining how hard each of you is trying to get through your days. How much you want to lead your loved ones through this. How you worry. How you plan. How you smile for them, when inside you feel at times you are breaking.

I was not a very stable youth. In fact, I never thought I could be anyone’s mom. I remember the decision to become a parent. It wasn’t hard to love. It wasn’t hard to dedicate myself to someone and something greater than my life. What was hard was knowing that from now on I needed to be the one to make sure everything was okay. To manage it and make it work. From food to school to medical. Whatever would come. And to be patient.

I realized I stopped my constant daydreaming, instead staying always ready for any break into what I was doing or thinking to answer a need. It was a new skill to acquire.

So now, in the midst of this pandemic, I think of all the mothers and fathers with children at home. All hoping they can do everything right, answer all needs, and stay calm and positive.

One thing that has helped me is to know that’s impossible.

It is a lovely thing to discover that your children don’t want you perfect. They just want you honest. And doing your best. In fact, the more room they have to be great where you are weak, the stronger they may become. They love you. They want to help you. So in the end, it’s the team you build. And in a way, they are raising you up too. You grow together.

Dal la mia infanzia essendo io solo la donna più desiderata del mondo è stata dura a quanto è bello avere bambini + ma è difficile + però è bello direi che ogni argomento possibile della categoria “luoghi comuni sui luoghi comuni” è stato trattato, ma una vera finestra è stata spalancata con la cardinalizia

 I vostri figli vogliono che siate onesti. E Io che pensavo che il bambino medio volesse come genitore un narcotrafficante criminale, e che se esce vestito genere Clamente Russo at His wedding  gli si dica “Si si, stai benissimo, figlio mio!”

 

Chi poteva immaginarlo?  Devo subito rivedere tutte le mie teorie!

 

 

Complimenti poi per aver scritto un punto dopo ogni singola frase, vedo un futuro nel giornalismo roseo.

Bisogna ammettere che è comunque molto sentita, sembra proprio di essere là, mentre si commuove vicino al jet privato fumante.
