“It would just make my heart soar if someone out there saw this and she said to herself; be strong, trust yourself, love yourself, conquer your fears, just go after what you want and act fast because life just isn’t that long.”

“

I.
When I was trying to quit smoking
and we drank white wine from Mason jars,
you called my freckles cocoa powder
and I called your green eyes
celery.

II.
I am learning how to be a grown-up
who pays bills, cooks her own meals,
and doesn’t cry at words like
I think I just want to be friends.

III.
The truth is this:
Love is an organic thing.
It rots and softens.

”

Two years ago I decided to drop out of college. When I did so, I thought it to be a permanent decision, filled with long walks, negotiating, weighing out pros and cons, lists and lists and lists, re-creating my life plan to fit around this idea of school and success that society had forced upon my being, and, most importantly, theorizing the reaction of my friends, loved ones and mentors. The only two people that I had no qualm about, the two people that I knew in my heart would support my decision, this seemingly huge, larger-than-life-but-only-not-really decision, were my mum and my step-dad.

There has not been a moment in my life when my mother was not there when I needed her, and, though it may sound selfish and spoiled, it’s a fact of my life that I would not change for the world. When my universe feels close to failure, when I really just need a hug, when my politics begin to overrun my empathy, when my heart only has the stringy bits left, when I really just need a laugh and an ego-boost, when I need a reality check, when I want to shout at the world and make sure they listen this woman has been flawlessly and permanently by my side.

Never for a moment has she questioned her inclination to endlessly brag about me, so who am I to bottle up the immense love and admiration I have for this amazing woman. Here’s to the best, here’s to my mum. Happy Mother’s Day.
