Dear mom,
you dont read this, but thats ok. maybe some day i'll show this to you. thank you so much for being there for me. for letting me talk and cry and think things out with you always. i think that makes you my best friend. we've come really far in the last three years, and i'm so glad. thank you for always supporting me, even when i feel like no one else is. thank you for listening when i feel like no one else is. thank you for validating my feelings, my thoughts and my decisions, and for pushing me to think about things more, to listen to my heart more and to love more. you are amazing. i know that i wouldn't be as capable as i am of loving if it weren't for you and your example in the way you love me. I appreciate so much that you never ever try to tell me what i should do, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. i think you have so much wisdom and i appreciate that you give me things to think about without ever telling me what i should or shouldn't do. you push me to be the best person i can be. you have taught me to live life--to truly live--to fully embrace the present. and you have taught me that i won't make bad decisions--that even though i might not think the same way later, it doesn't mean i made the "wrong" choice. you discourage absolutes and encourage me to live in the grey area, which although more uncomfortable, fosters the most growth. i am not perfect, but i am content in myself, i am happy with myself, and i think you have a lot to do with that. thank you for being there for me more than anyone else. for knowing me best, and yet never supposing that you know me and what i feel. i love you. thank you for loving me like you do.
