Throughout our lives, we learn very many things and life lessons. Here are 5 things my mother has taught me over the years.
1. I Can Always Go To Her
From dealing with the friends who are no longer friends to boy drama, you've always listened to everything I vent about. I can always come to you and that is the greatest thing I can ask for.
2. My Worth
You have always told me that I deserve nothing less than the best treatment I can get. My worth isn't defined by the people I am with or their opinions of me, I define my own worth.
3. Instead Of Starting A Fight, To Finish It
You always told me to never throw the first punch. Instead, you taught me to finish the fight rather than start it.
4. To Believe In Myself
Whether it be something as small as me writing a test at school, to applying for college/university, you always told me to be confident in whatever choice I make.
5. To Be Confident
Mom, after years of struggling with my body image you have convinced me that even if I do have a little 'pudge' that I am no less than perfect in your eyes and that I should love myself because I am all I have.
Mom, thank you for always being there for me even if you're upset with me. You are a caring, strong and beautiful woman and you deserve all the love you can get. Thank you for everything.
I love you.
