Ok this is something I imagine most of you can relate to or I hope so. I've just changed in interest back to an old one I had ages ago, I though it was going to fade but it is so, so strong right now that its unreal! I'd forgotten how amazing this feeling was. One of my friends I'd having a Halloween party and I desperately want to go as Susan Pevensie from the narnia series I know how I would make the costume (not sure how to deal with the bow yet) and it would reall not cost that much to make since I think my mum already has a skirt that would work for that the just two long sleeved tops- pitty about the neckline but that can't be helped- and a pair of shoes I could do the hair an something resembling her crown and a typical Halloween cloak would complete it. My problem is my Mum. She's not very supportive of my special interests and I hate asking her things like this because I can sense she doesn't want to do it and she sighs and goes along with it even though you can tell she doesn't want to do it I want to know if there is a less painful way of telling her what I'm planning to do. I keep thinkin as well that because this is an interest I had before I'm worried that it will fade but I feel so much better than I have in a long time and I really want to do this! I think if it had gone I wouldn't still be as hyper as I've been since yesterday morning. I am still quite scared ill start this and then I'll discover that the interest has gone... How do you deal with that, when you plan for something and then it's gone before you are ready to let it go?
Thank you for any ideas I really appreciate them .

Pro Tip:

110% effort is doomed to fail because the expectation of results after such monumental effort will never be met, but perseverance will pay off every time.

The party is coming no matter how you feel. Lay aside the worry about how you feel and press on with your project, but don't try to "own" the outcome too much. If it's not perfect the only person who will know is you.

If you learn at your age to be able to throttle back the effort, and concentrate so far as to get it done, you will be very very good at everything you do naturally. Try it, but don't worry if you fail at trying what I suggest, because that's the idea.

As for participation regarding your mother, remember that they always see you as the baby you once were many years ago and that will never stop, even when you are 50. Get as much help as you can, but plan ahead not to rely heavily on it.
