"you have changed so much and it hurts me that I am starting to forget the innocent girl I used to know. I thought it was just for a while and that you will go back to your normal self but it seems that it is not going to happen. You are the shadow of yourself"

Zara could not forget the words of her mother as it kept echoing in her head but she could not seem to understand why her mother feels she has changed so much and she saw no changes except from the fact that she has added about twenty pounds of weight but that can't be the reason her mother was angry, right? she thought. Despite taking her a day off to have time to think she just could not understand what her mother meant when she said she has changed.

if your mother thinks you have changed so much I think it would be best if you ask her to tell you at least that will save you from dying of depression, Bolanle who has been watching quietly as I acted my drama said. she may have noticed some slight thing that even you did not pay attention to so I suggest you talk it over dinner with her. Thanks dear, you area life saver.

Zara, I don't want to fail as mother that's why I am having this discussion with you. there are times when we want to model our life after someone else's, we want to have everything we desire at all cost. Darling during this time we find ourselves changing because instead of focusing on who we are, we want to be what we are not. You changed because you stopped being you.
