My Mummy
if words could convey the amount of love that i have for my mother, i really would be sitting here through the wee hours of the night. i decided to write this post because i really do love her, so much. i just find it so hard to find the words that encompass the complete adoration that i have for her.

my mother is by far the most self sacrificing person i have ever come to know in my mere almost eighteen years of life. she is the one person i know who will love me endlessly for eternity, regardless of my mistakes. 

my mother (and father) have never demanded a certain standard of me and for that i will always be grateful for. my mum has always told me that, "giving of your best is the most that you will ever be able to give, whether it be an A,B,C,D or E, and that is all i want at the end of the day, your best".

thinking back now, i suppose i only came to know my mum last year or so. i say this because before then, she was kinda just my mother who did things, but now i know her pet peeves, i know what humours her and what saddens her... i know more about my mum now than i ever have and i think that it's made me a better person. "meeting" my mother has been a gift because to not only know but also be surrounded by someone who has that pure of a heart, that warm of a smile that radiates happiness, that pure of a soul, can only strive towards becoming a better you. she irritates me and nags about the silliest of things but nothing in the world would make me change any aspect of her. it's taken time to appreciate the signiture traits of her personality: the way she confuses "he" and "she', the way she stops telling you a story half way through, the way she starts telling you her thought process in fragments and lastly, the way she wants to have a full on conversation when you say, "night mummy, i'm off to bed" or even worse, when you're dozing off.

Jay, thank you for being such a beautiful person to me. i wish that you could read this one day without me showing it to you. you are so beautiful in every shade and the love you have showed me will beat in me forever <3
may God bless you.

i think i will go cuddle with my mum now, goodnight/early morning all (00:19)
