We’re just two broken people trying to love again.

It’s hard at times.

When we’re happy, we smile like we’ve never been hurt. We laugh until we've cried real tears.

Trauma doesn't define you.

It only shapes you into the human being you are constantly evolving to become. Although our trauma wasn’t similar, we aren’t worlds apart. We can grow through the experiences we went through, together. I want to build you back up, to the man I know you can be. It’s a wonderful thing when someone is willing to help you love yourself instead of being all about them.

We’re just two broken people.

When we fight, all the personal issues we thought we’ve worked through starts to reveal itself. Our insecurities that were hidden, abruptly rise to the surface. Why does it always end up with someone getting their heart broken?

Maybe it’s because someone always manages to say the wrong thing that sparks more frustration. However, the yelling and shouting eventually immerse into your chest because you pull me into your chest. No matter how hard I squirm in your arms, you hold me tighter. Your rapid heartbeat comes at a normal pace as I shut my eyes. Because I know in that particular moment everything was going to be alright.

Sometimes I hate how well you know me. In some ways, you know me better than I know myself. You know what makes me laugh and you can tell when I'm upset by just the variation of tone when I speak. I can’t help to think that what if you wake up one morning, and you decide that you don’t want to do whatever "this" is anymore? All the conversations, secrets and fears that were exchanged will remain with you, along with a little part of myself.

When the trust is gone, everything else is pointless. It’s clear from the start, a relationship of any kind whether it be a friendship or romantically involved, the foundation was weak from the beginning. In the back of your mind, there will always be a doubt.

But in the end, we know that we’re all in.

Because when we love, we love hard.

We also share the understanding that we’re in this for the long run. Giving up or “Taking a break,” is off the table. If we’re upset, we give each other space but that doesn’t change a damn thing. You’re the missing puzzle piece I’ve been trying to find.

We are just two people, not letting our bad experiences define us.We are like two peas in a pod, We're always here for each other against all odds.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
