My family has always been important to me, but until recently I didn’t grasp how grateful I am to have them; especially my mom.

I had this moment where I was sitting on the kitchen floor, crying illogically over the fact that my ex-boyfriend no longer wanted to spend time with me on a daily basis. Then my phone started blowing up for the umpteenth time with texts from my mom checking in on me. It was this moment of: why obsess over this guy who was a part of my life for a few years, when this woman has unconditionally loved me for my entire life — even when I ignore her texts.

Im so blessed to have her and I hope I can behave better as time goes on.
