Thank you momma B.

Thank You To My Best Friend's Mom
Whisper Chaney

I want to start with thank you. I'm not thanking you for everything you have done for me, but with how you raised your daughter, my best friend. I don't know how or why she turned out the way she did, but she has been the biggest blessing in my life and everyone else she meets. Thank you for teaching her how to care endlessly and how to love forever. Thank you for teaching her how to forgive everyone and everything, because I mess up a lot. Thank you for being her mom.

I guess now I should thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you for the ENDLESS sleepovers and now letting her live with me. Thank you for the second home and the open arms. Thank you for always giving me advice, whether I want it or not. Thank you for forgiving me as much as your daughter does. Thank you for teaching me to just let things happen. You taught me to let go and let her chase her dreams. No matter how far she goes, she will come back. In teaching me that, you taught me to chase my own dreams. You have taught me to let something go and if it comes back it is yours to keep, of not, then it was never yours. You taught me an endless amount of stuff and forever I will be thanking you.

I can't tell you how much your family has impacted me. Between the sleepovers, the funerals, the bonfires, the dates, the parties and the yard sales, you have also taught me how to care endlessly, love forever, and to forgive everyone and everything.

So really thank you. Without you, and many others, I would not be the person I am today. I love you momma B. Thank you for letting me be the daughter you never saw coming.

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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
