I was sitting in front of the computer with many many instant messaging programs open, but no instant messages from anyone and thought to myself: "is there anyone in this world who's literally stuck with me? As in, they have no choice but to be in my life forever?" And then it occured to me that my mom is the one person who will always be there no matter what. I definitely don't show my mom enough appreciation, but I hope it counts for something that I don't talk shit about my mom to any of my friends by saying ridiculous stuff like "my mom is a bitch." Even if she did act bitchy all the time, and trust me, she's the nicest person in the world, I think that giving birth, feeding me, and being stuck with me is good enough justification to act a little bitchy.

I think the best thing about my mom is how little it takes to make her happy. It's definitely a mark of someone who came out of a war-torn country. Where does my mom get the patience to deal with her four kids? I exhibit practically none of the good characteristics that my mom possesses. I'm not patient. It takes a lot to please me. I'm picky as hell. I get angry very easily. But my mom.. she's like a freaking saint. She's SO patient. Totally evident by the fact that she has to wait on me all the time at home. She's very minimalist with food and clothing. She can make due with whatever she has. She can take a lot of my yelling and bitching. <3

weeee I love my mom.
