The devil on one shoulder, and an angel on the other.

If there was one way to describe the relationship between me and my parents is best described as the angel and devil on my shoulders.

My dad tells me to have fun, go with my gut, and just live up life. He plays the YOLO card and tells me to mess around and experiment with things (no not drugs, but with life). < He is the devil on my shoulder.
My mom tells me to be smart, to think before I act, and to lift things up to the Lord. < She is the angel.

Today, after a long talk about Jeremy Lin, our summer trip to Asia, my plans for Europe, and my future. He gives me the reminder that "You need to find a girlfriend." He gave one of his funny examples of why it's important to be in a relationship. Right after, I called my mom because I didn't understand a word that my dad kept saying in the conversation. She tried to keep talking to me, but since I'd been standing in front of the library for about an hour, I told her I needed to leave. 15 minutes later I received this e-mail..

Needless to say, my mom encourages me so much. And as much as it is funny to see how my parents fight even when they don't talk to each other, I know that in the end it's not about their quarrel. In the end its about raising me. God has blessed me with the "best of two worlds." And I wouldn't argue against that. But in these two worlds, God has blessed me with my very own angel, my momma.
