DSGWM: Hey Mama
My mom is not your ordinary soccer mom or the typical stay-at-home, wipe-your-tears kinda mom. She's extraordinary. She exists on both ends of the spectrum. People often get confused who's mother and who's daughter. We've got a serious case of the Freaky Friday!
I'm not even lying to you when I say I'm with my mom 24/7 and not for obvious reasons like being overly-attached to your mom. I spend my days with here at work and at home. It's like overdosing on sugar every day. Everyone on planet Earth knows who Chin Chin is. I'm like the underdog to the futbol team, the Remora fish to the shark.
A couple of days ago, I had a long talk with my mother. It was the kind of talk I never thought I would get from my mother. For once, we were on the same page, we were seeing things eye to eye.
We were talking about my future, something that has been haunting me for the past 6 months now.
I told her how I was pretty bummed out I'm going to miss this semester to Community College (touchy subject) I expressed every single worry in my bones. If there's one thing I got from my mama, it's her ambitiousness. Growing up, all I wanted to be was the best among the rest. I made sure that if everyone else put in 100% effort, I'd put in 150% effort sometimes even 200%! This became a huge impact of the person I am today. I am what people call a Perfectionist. One slight disfigurement and I go cuckoo.
She told me I could be whoever and whatever I wanted to be. To some people, the sky is the limit but for me? What's beyond the sky and far into the Universe is my limit.
I have been feeling pretty insecure with my future because everyone else is at a standard pace and I am the odd one out. Based on my calculations, I will graduate just in the nick of time to get married.
At the end of our conversation she told me I'm so busy giving advice to other peoples daughters and here, I missed out on my very own.
