My mom carried me for nine months. She felt sick for those months with nausea, then she watched her feet swell & her skin stretch. She teared. She struggled to climb stairs, she got breathless quickly and she even suffered many sleepless nights. She then went through excruciating pain to bring me into this world. Then, she became my nurse, my chef, my maid, my chauffeur, my biggest fan, my teacher & my best friend. She’s struggled for me, cried over me, hoped the best for me and prayed for me. Most of us take our mom for granted. Reblog if you love your mom more than anything else in the world.

Reflections

High school is almost over, and as much as that is super exciting for me, it is all extremely bittersweet. Lately, I’ve been looking at videos of all of my friends that I’ve collected throughout the year and I’ve felt such nostalgia.. I’ve wished that things were different and that we were all still that close. We used to be so happy and we still are now but things are different.I think misunderstandings and miscommunication has torn us apart and truthfully there is never one person to blame so I really hope that in the last few days and months that we have together people can look beyond their differences to forgive. I know that it is never easy to approach a person and honestly I know that I have been wrong too. But 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now we will look back on these moments, the moments that were our most carefree memories, and wonder why we were so dramatic. Because there really are bigger problems out there in the world. I hope that one day we will reminisce on these moments and say”I can’t believe we were so silly, look at us now”.. And we will all be successful and grow up and proper and wondering what we spent the remainder of our teen years on. Non existent grudges that stem from doubt and miscommunication? Drama that only made everyone miserable? Disagreements that could never be won? We are all smarter than that and nicer than that. Deep down , none of us want this, and really want us all to be friends.Its definitely not easy as everyone has different personalities and we are all quick to judge. But if we put down our microscopic lenses, we will realize that we cant hold others to standards that we ourselves cant match up to and we cant be quick to assume or judge if we don’t know the full story. Everyone makes mistakes… The important thing is learning from it and also learning to forgive others that make mistakes. High school is a roller coaster, and every dip and turn makes you question yourself and everyone around it. But if you put on a brave face and just throw caution to the wind, you will come out with a hell of an experience that was well worth the ride. Yolo, and make the best of it!:)
