People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.
Re: GTKY 8/21
People who aren't afraid to admit when they are wrong and apologize.
I have learned a lot in the last year who my "people" are and who are not. It is so true, when things get tough, the people who care stick around and fight along with you.
For example, I feel the cashier we had at the grocery store the other day was rude to me (she 100% ignored me and only chatted up my bf and ignored when I asked that the meat not be put in the same bag with the veggies and fruits) but my bf was defending her saying she wasn't rude and maybe was insecure around me...
Just be on my damn side ! She was rude! Lol. ugh it definitely sounds irrational but I can't help my feelings.
Also, many of my friends aren't afraid to tell me what they think even if it means we disagree. We don't write each other off for those disagreements.
A sense of humor. I take myself and life very seriously. There are a lot of people in my life who have a great sense of humor and it brings that side out in me too. It makes life more enjoyable.
Most of all, I spend the most time with people who I can learn from. They don't necessarily have to be people that I would go out and have drinks with or invite over to my house for dinner. I always want to grow. Not growing feels wrong to me.
