10 Things You Still Do In Your 20s If You Are Totally, And Unapologetically, A 'Momma's Girl'

It seems to me that few bonds exist stronger than that of mother and daughter.

You call her up in a heartbeat, whether it's to spend a day on the town, a day in front of the TV, or simply to hear her voice. You rely on her for her support, smiles, and so much more. If you're a momma's girl like me, you'll most definitely catch yourself doing these things on a daily basis.

As a child, I never thought I would be like my Mom. Growing up, my Mom and I had a lot of differences. My Mom always dresses up and does her hair and makeup. I always thought that was too much. When I was a teenager, my favorite thing to wear was sweatpants and you'd be lucky if my hair was done.

Dear Moms, Stop Body-Shaming Your Daughters

Your voice matters the most.

Maybe I am just really lucky. Maybe I won the jackpot of all mothers, but I didn't know it was that crazy for a mother to never make her daughter feel insecure.

It wasn't until I came to college that I realized that mothers body-shaming their daughters was even a thing. As I became closer with other young women I would often hear them saying how their moms told them what they could and couldn't wear, or they would make vicious remarks.

My Mom, My Forever Friend, My Strength, My Cheerleader, My Teacher, My Role Model

My mom spent her 29th birthday giving me life.

She will be the first to tell you that she never wanted to be a mother. She cried for three days straight when that test came back positive. Legend has it, she didn't talk to my dad for a full week. They had been married for six years, had stable careers, a house, savings, but my mom was terrified.

You're Going To Grow Up, But That Doesn't Mean You Have To Grow Out Of People

Don't ever let growing up and being great get in the way of what's important because when things go wrong or don't go as planned, you're going to need someone to lean on.

You ever have those sudden realizations when something hits you and it changes the way you think entirely? Well, that recently happened to me and I started thinking a lot about my life and how I spend my time. As you get older, it's no secret that things change. Things you used to enjoy as a kid may not be the things you enjoy as you get older or the way you used to think as a child definitely is not the mentality you have throughout your adulthood. But, one misconception people seem to have with growing up is that you outgrow relationships. While that may be true in some cases, it definitely is not true for the people that matter. How do you know which people mater and which don't? Well, the people that stick around you are usually the ones that matter and that is where my realization came into play just the other day.
