AN OPEN LETTER TO MY MUM

Picture:google.com

Dear Mother,

I am 100% sure that you won't be able to read this yet I hope that some day you will come across this.
Today is mother's day and I know I haven't really shown you my appreciation for you over the past couple of weeks. Sometimes it is hard being your daughter and trying to live up to all of your expecations but I know that you truly want the best for us. Just as hard it is being your daughter I am also very proud to be yours. You taught us how to work hard, not to take things for granted and always to turn to God if ever we had struggles. I know I have held grudges against you over the time but I don't want that because I have that much love and respect for you. You are the strongest woman I know and just how it should be, I want to be like you one day.
You truly the number one person I look up to excluding all celebrities :P
I know I am a drag and not very pleasant at the moment but that is just because I grow up too and I know you don't really like to admit it but you are scared of that. And I know you are constantly worried about our future but let me tell you this again, you have raised us and brought us up in a very good way and you can trust us not messing up the times ahead of us. People do not really understand your views sometimes but you don't care because you're confident that that is the right thing to do and  I really appreciate that and it really does impress me. You have gone so much since you've been 5 years old and the woman that you have become is just amazing. I can't thank God enough for having you as my mother because also if I mess up, and I did quite a few times, I know I got your back. It hurts to see you being hurt that's why I don't want to cause more problems than I already have. I can't wait for my kids to have you as a Grandma because I know that they will learn a lot from you. They will be as inspired as I am and I hope that I get all the traits that you have as a loving mother.
You are truly a superwoman, balancing a 40h a week job and 5 children and a husband. You are the brains in the family as well as the queen! You keep motivating us, show us how much you care and keep us all together!

I LOVE YOU, MATTUSHKA!

Happy Mother's Day!

Love, your daughter.

Motherlove and her (harsh) pieces of wisdom =]

This external family issues just won't settle down which make my mum kinda upset. I was sitting at the big dining table and was having lunch when she suddenly rummaged through the advertisements and magazines on the table and started ranting about how people could be so stupid in love. She started being really sarcastic for a change and it made me laugh so hard, out of confusion and out of fascination how humourous my mum can actually be. Mum always has a harsh way of making fun of slightly illogical people. Well, well... she must've given me that trait :P

Anyways, she was ranting about how I should never cry over a boy. She also made it clear that I should never come home, moaning to her about a guy who left me and fell out of love. She's super harsh but believe me, she's not emotionless. So, I was sitting there and couldnt stop laughing. The best thing was that she said: "Yeah, if that guy doesnt love you anymore dont cry over him - look for a new one!"

The best thing by far was then, that she started looking at my 11-year old brother and started texting him about the same thing: "If a girl doesnt love you, don't cry because of her."

Poor guy, I thought and he didnt even understand why she was telling him all this as he later asked me what she was talking about.

But I must say she does have a point in this. I can say that when it comes to guys you shouldnt be dependent on them. You have to have your own brains and stop thinking that everything evolves on him. That's the worst thing you can do. What if he won't be there anymore? Your whole world falls apart? You think you can't live anymore and you'd rather die because he's not into/with you anymore? That's total BS. You'll get over it some day and look at it as an enrichment to your experience. I guess, you're less affected by such loss if you've continued doing your thing. Just don't make the guy you love (esp. if he's not The One, you want to marry) be the centre of the universe as there are other more important things in your life that need being cared of.

So, what my Mum's piece of wisdom was, is this to consider your guy as someone who's worth investing your time:

* Does he believe in God?
* Does he love you for who you truly are? Does he love you despite your faults?
* Is he/she ready to change so that your relationship can develope into something more serious?

If these pretty essential points do not correspond to your guy, then maybe think your relationship over. Still, I'm not the one to tell what to do or not to do. I'm just sharing my mum's wisdom.

Oh and Mum?
You're the harshest, most dominant, coolest and best Mother =]
Mum, you're the best!
