Forgoing my comfort zone
Hi guys! Happy Labour Day, May Day, whatever day.
Did you guys enjoy the movies on the goggle box today? I didn't. I went out with my mom and brother to do some grocery shopping. We bought bags of stuff and maybe y'all don't know this, but I'm really a stay-home person. I really do not like to go out for trival things, even to get dinner. I'd rather cook something at home.
Nowadays, I talk to my mom more than before. Our relationship is better than from a couple months ago. She was saying it was going to be Mother's Day soon. I stood there trying to think what date that was. The result was... nothing, no clue. But we moved on from there and I asked her what she would like as a gift. She was suggesting things but yet, being tight-lipped at the same time, like she wanted me to guess.
At that moment I felt like I wanted to buy her everything. If only I had enough cash to let her max out her credit card every month. But my mom, even if I did give her a pile of money, she wouldn't want to spend a cent. I guess all parents are like that huh. I think subconsciously, I'm getting closer to my mom and I'm thankful for that. I mean, how many parents can ask their kids to download music for them? That means she's joining my club! The ill-eagle club! That's an important sign in the development of parent-child relationships.
So today, I didn't enjoy the movies playing on screen, I enjoyed time with my mom. And I think that's more important than anything else in the world. Now I have to go find out when Mother's Day is.
