The Blessing Of Another Person

Strength we thought we would lose.

The Blessing Of Another Person

Sometimes it’s hard for us to do things on our own. Other times, I at least like to do things on my own so that way they come out the exact way I want them to. This applies to many different parts of my life and it includes many different people. My parents are still greatly involved in my life, but now my boyfriend of six years is more often involved in a lot of what keeps me going sometimes. My boyfriend keeps me going almost on a daily basis, including waking me up some days, and helping to cook food every day, but some days just cooking for himself. Growing into this strong relationship changed how we lived our daily lives together. We continued to focus on what we needed to build to strengthen our relationship and what one of us does and the other does to help the pair.

I continued to accept the fact that I would continue to run daily events in my life with others always being involved. Its easy to let happen now, I have accepted the fact that company will be there with me. Even today when I wake up, I hate being alone. I need to have someone there with me immediately when I wake up. Eating breakfast happens more smoothly as soon as I wake up and someone is there with me. It’s hard for me to eat �on my own. My boyfriend constantly being here is always a relief. Even though he has a full-time job I have it in my mind that he will come home to me, and I will need to have a certain amount of things ready when he’s home. Whether that is chores that we want done in the house, or something for a meal that he might want, I have now gotten used to the fact that getting that done for him will help keep our relationship strong.

Its now hard for me to live constantly on my own. I thought I was going to let that go once I grew up from my parents, but I hate it. I’m glad I get to live a daily life with them, but also with the man that has my heart. I have no idea what my life would be like without him, miserable, boring, lonely perhaps. Keeping near my parents keeps me calm knowing they are close by in any situation when I might need help. My boyfriend also helps keep me constantly calm. Being able to talk to him everyday helps me with my emotions in every level that they may get to. Without him, even with the fact that we don’t have a ring involved, I would unfortunately still just be with my parents living daily with them.

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!
