as time keeps passing, i love watching my mom age. it used to be a bittersweet thing to me, it often time still is, but knowing i had the privilege and the honor to see all her stages of life and someone to look up to if and when i reach that stage is comforting to me. the gray hairs, the old lady jokes, and the wisdom she now has and continues to spread is beautiful to witness and i feel blessed everyday im here to see it. i wish she could live forever and ever, truly, but i’m enjoying this time i have now. :)

💫we’re watching soaps together (young and the restless, bold and the beautiful). she and her mom used to watch the same shows together when she was younger. it’s a happy memory for her. whenever i’m at work, mom texts me updates from the show. it’s a very sweet ritual we’ve just started. it’s fun to watch her reminisce about old storylines and explain who everyone is to me. we’ve started a new soap together called beyond the gates. even more special to begin the show with her. a new tradition built upon an old one. i look at my mom as a treasure of information of which i’ll never reach the bottom. she’s getting older, and i keep thinking about how one day, i’ll wish i’d been nicer, or more open, or taken out my headphones to listen to her talk just to talk. on days when those thoughts are overwhelming, i settle for spending time with her in the calm afternoon of her lunch break and listening to her talk about phyllis and victor and jill and cricket. sometimes, she talks over the show, but tbh i’m more interested in what she has to say than the storylines.

❤️...and i choose to love my mom, continuously. The older i get the more i understand her choices. I think, also, she has obviously evolved, taken accountability over the years and i'm really proud of how far we've come. We are all deeply flawed, but it's what we do with it, towards others, that really matters imo and my mom has led her whole life applying that logic, sometimes erroneously but with full intention.
Wouldn't have been able to see that in my 20's but i am so grateful to have her in my life as we are now, and i look back at all our fights and tears with gratitude, because we were able to work through it, and choose each other through it all. I look forward to whatever comes next!
