So instead of reading forty more pages for Cognitive Psychology, I'm blogging! That's why I'm so behind with all of my readings LOL. But whatever, I know I'll finish them eventually. Anyways, today was a good day. I went to the library in the morning and I took the bus with my momma. I went to the library near her workplace so we could eat lunch together, which is always fun! So I was there by 8:30 carrying a heavy backpack and another bag full of hardbound books LOL crazy I'm not! I did most of what I planned for today and it's always nice when you're in a nice environment and people are just there around you doing the same thing. I always like it. It motivates me! :)
So around 4:30 my mom and I left, went to pick up some groceries and finally went home. My mom and I never stop talking and laughing at the silliest things when we're together. No wonder she looks young for her age; she's so carefree and just full of life. When we got home, we cooked and chatted again and again and again for hours! We reallyy don't waste any second when we're both free and there are no people around the house to pull one of us away to do something.
After hours of chatting, I finally went upstairs to do some homework and she knocked after like five minutes. She told me that she's always happy to be with me, that I'm her best friend.
...
I was so speechless. I couldn't even process how sweet that was. I've never heard anyone so sincere in my life than my parents, honestly. I think I take back the words and thoughts that I had when I just wanted to be live in residence. I really don't wanna be away. Actually, my mom's officemate led me to this change of heart. She told me her lifestory. She was away from home by eighteen years old. She tried hard to make ends meet everyday. She worried for her rent, food, transpo etc. She worried about all of these things when she could've stayed home with her parents. Now that she's fifty-nine years old, she's still doing the same thing; thats forty-one years of doing the laundry, dishes and managing her expenses.
So she asked me, why are you rushing into all this? All my life, I'll be doing these things that people stress about. Why, when I have a mom that always welcomes my problems, my stresses and my silliness. Why, when I have my dad hug me and offer me the most motivating and calming advices when I'm so down with school or work. Why trade all of these blessings for just one problem: my travel time to school.
When I think about it, two hours and a half won't be bad if I snooze or listen to my lecture recordings while I'm on my way home. I just realized that, just like any other teen, I can be very impulsive and narrow-minded. Of course, my mom won't let me go because she will miss her baby.
Pardon me, I'm so emotional. I'm just so happy!! I'm so lucky to have a wonderful family who'll love me through the thick and thin. That's why I don't have much close friends, everything I need, from comfort to laughter to drama, I have them just being with my family!
Be Blessed!~
