I am a MAMA'S GIRL.

Very similar to "best friends", I tell my mom everything there is to know about me. She raised me to be respectful and kind, and I know I'm a better person because of it. I trust my mom with my life, so there's not one thing I'm unwilling to share with her. Including when another person does me wrong.

Friends, ex's, even family...

just know, my mama knows, and she probably isn't too fond of you.

Like I said in the beginning, I was raised with a good heart, so each time I tell a story, I give both sides. Though my mom knows her heart always wants to side with me, there are several times she doesn't, so I know going to her is worth the fear of "biased opinions".

One thing my Mama won't tolerate, however, is disrespect.

From Pr-K to now, I let my problems out to the one person I knew would have my best interest at heart no matter what age I came crying.

When I was 5, my older cousin screamed at me in front of his friends, they all laughed because I was yelling back (5 year olds' aren't exactly intimidating I guess) My cousin was in the house next to us, so I ran home to my mom crying. She held me and kissed my tears away. Though she never said it, I don't know if my mom ever forgave my cousin for that.. (not like he apologized anyway).

When I was 13 my first boyfriend I had, told me I couldn't go to a party because other guys would be there. (I attempted listening...and before you judge listen to 15 by Taylor Swift, (I had my reasons)). My mom made me go anyway, to show myself (and this older, ass-hat of a boyfriend) that I couldn't be limited to what I was allowed to experience. He cheated on me a few weeks later..

My mom? Let's just say she's glad I've moved on.

When I was 18 the girls in my grade made rumors about me-like they do to everyone-but a lot of these girls were my close friends. My mom never trusted those girls again, and there are several I've managed to weed out of my life.

Because the thing about moms (and yes many of you, close with your moms, know exactly what I'm going to say) they're always right about the people who do you wrong. Don't bother second guessing it. In a few months time, the same person your mom warned you about, will be the same one coming to you for money or a ride.

My mom forgives good people. That doesn't mean she forgets the times I laid awake crying, but she does forgive the ones who deserve it. Yeah, there have been people in my life that have hurt me, but I've hurt them too, and real friends are known to make a few mistakes.

If I continually came crying to my mom over the same person, you better believe red flags started sticking up to my mama, so no matter how many times I came back and said, "they're sorry.."

My mom would say, "But are they sorry enough to not do it again?"

Turns out, they weren't.

When I turned 22 it was the beginning of my journey to discovering the adults who envy you. The way you're living your life, becoming successful at a young age, and who you choose to spend your time with, are all things being monitored by people who you assume would want the very best for you anyway. Family, extended family, close friends.. they don't all want the best for you. The truth is, you screwing up or reaching a difficult point is a great way to wean out the people your mama told you about.

Your real friends stick around when things get hard.

Your true family, lets you vent even when they feel you aren't justified.

The Love of your life, wants you to go out and be with the people you enjoy, even though, (YES), it means you'll be around other men/women who may hit on you or try and catch your attention.

Your mom has your best intentions in heart and mind, so she's the one person you'll never have to second guess. Just trust her when she tells you there may be some people not worth forgiving.

Whether that's because you're too naive to figure it out on your own quite yet, or just because you don't have that "mother's intuition"...Trust she knows what she is talking about because 99.9% of the time she really does.

So to all the people that hurt me in the past, I feel sorry for you. It's one thing you didn't get to see what an awesome person I am, but it's a completely separate thing that you never got to be close with my Mama. She sure is awesome.

And to all the bullies out there (strangers, friends, ex's, and family) next time you want to belittle someone, ask yourself:

#WWHMT?

What will her mama think?

Not too highly of you sweetheart, trust me.
