Typically my blog posts are on food, drinks, or my current progression in my diet. But today is not about me. Its about a special person who has helped lead me and inspire me to keep pushing forward no matter how much I want to quit at times. I remember when I was in highschool, all I ever wanted to do was move out, away from mom and be on my own. A typical senior in highschool thought process im sure. Even though after 4 years of being on my own was great, it still wasn’t as great as the feeling of being at home surrounded by family and loved ones. Throughout the 4 years I was away at college and doing “my own thing”, I learned a lot about life and all the crappy hard times it comes with. Everything from loosing best friends, to loosing your “first love”, and making life choices all on your own with no one to tell you whether you made the right choice or not. Regardless of what I was going through while I was away at college I always remembered one thing…Mom is just a phone call away.
“When life comes rushing at you out of the darkness who will you choose to face it with? Will it be someone you trust? Will they be wise? And will their love for you help them to guide you to the light, or will they lose their way in the darkness? Will they make noble choices? Or will that person be untested, someone new? Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness. When it does, is there someone in your life you can count on – someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall, and in that moment, give you the strength to face your fears alone?”
A mothers love for her child is a bond that will forever remain unbroken.
This past year I have faced multiple challenges in life that I thought were impossible to overcome. I have told myself I CAN’T do this, I DON’T want to do this anymore, I QUIT. Every time I told myself these things, my mom was always there to say STOP. Just STOP saying negative things. The more you say them the more they become true, and before you know it they’ll become a reality. Truth is I still think negatively at times HOWEVER, every time I do so, I ask myself what would my mom tell me? Would she agree with my negativity or tell me to stop thinking that way? Simple just stop thinking that way and focus on something more positive.
I guess you can say the reason why I am writing this is not only for mothers day but for the love that a mother gives her children regardless of how much they may forget their love is something to cherish.
Being selfish is to be human. It is only normal for us to think of ourselves and for ourselves at one point in our lives. During these times is actually when more than likely you’re caught up in your social life or caught up in a relationship that makes you practically blind to what you should really be focusing on. Which is the love of a family member. When you think you don’t need anyones help or when you think you got it all made and your pretty much set to conquer whatever the future holds for you think again. You can do it alone but I suggest think twice before you take the road the less traveled by single handedly.
Family will always be there for you. They may disappoint you at times, fight and even argue with you, BUT they will never leave you. A wise person once told me “you can chose your friends but you can’t chose your family”, and theres a reason for that. You may not know that reason now but when you find out why the family you have was given to it’ll all make sense. What I mean by that is..life will begin to fall into place, love, future goals and even future struggles.
For me it was life and I will always be forever thankful that I have gone through serious hard times. My mom tells me how it is, and doesn’t sugar coat it. She’s real and has been through her own struggles and sad to say I have left her alone during these struggles at times, because I was caught up in my own social life and relationship. And when I felt the world began to crumble beneath my feet she was there to keep me from falling, even when I didn’t deserve her love or compassion. She stayed by me and accepted my wrong doings in life and never gave up on me. She is and will forever be my mom and father. She has played the mom and dad in my life and I see her as the strongest person in the world for being able to do so for me and my brothers.
Out of all the people that actually read this..take it from me when I say STOP one minute a day and be thankful for the loved ones in your life because they are the ones who matter most, and sometimes you won’t realize it until you yourself go through something so difficult and horrifying that you look to them to lean on. Take this mothers day to thank your own mother for being a mom. A strong independent women who endures hardships in life and at times try’s to hide it from world by putting a smile on her face everyday no matter how she feels.

Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes — all you need is one”.
