I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. My gut says the speaker isn’t thrilled that he/she turned into her.

Your gut is correct–everyday it seems I’m more like my mom, no matter how hard I’ve tried to not reflect her flaws. Don’t misunderstand–I’m sure there were reasons why she was the was she was (cold, cruel, unloving, bitter, sarcastic, humiliating)–and I continually work on forgiving her…but I would so rather be patient, kind, compassionate, empathetic, loving and joyful. And some days I DO manage to be those positive things…I depend wholly on God’s Spirit to transform my character, as I surrender to Him ❤ Blessings to you! ❤

Me writing a story in six words?! I need ten words when I could use just two.. I enjoy reading them much more than torturing myself with that brevity..
If I ever bother to try my hands on brevity, now I know when to look for.. 😁

Can relate to this! Not overtime, but assignments and imprompu tests.
