If you could please show this comment to your mother :
Ma'am your are a bitch and a bad mother. I don't care if you give a single material shit to your child, right now you're taking her/his hope away, like the selfish being you are. You should go fuck yourself and stop dragging her/him down because - it is quite clear to me - you had your own hopes crushed down when you were a child. Your daughter/son is a beautiful and complex being called human, and even in the depth of your shallowness, you owe this beautiful person RESPECT and LOVE as a mother. Now since you are a childish bitch, go sit in the corner for the time needed to you to understand basic civil actions like that. And you, Adu. You don't DESERVE this. She is LYING, you have has much chances as any mofos up in here and let me set something straight, wether you do it in a straight-line, classic way, or take the harder, longer path, you WILL do it. You HAVE the potential and obviously your mother is too busy being shallow to see that you are great and that you are nice and funny and she doesn't know JACKSHIT about you. I've suffered the same kind of thing from my own mom, please, I really beg you, don't listen to her and go away from this poisonous being ASAP.
My mom keeps telling anyone she talks to on the phone that I won’t get into Hopkins (aka my dream school)
MOM YOU’RE TALKING AS LOUD AS A JET ENGINE AND YOU’RE MAKING ME CRY
don’t kys queen otherwise you can’t say you survived your codependent homoerotic teenage friendship!!
I go through lots of these moments and I hate to know that others go through this. I just want everyone to know that it does get better. It’s such a hard battle to fight but life is too beautiful to give up. You’re going to wake up one day and be genuinely happy with your life and all this will be a bad memory. I will always be in your corners and I’m here if anyone needs a shoulder to cry on. You’ve got this. I believe in all of you. Win this crazy battle called life❤️
everyday i wake up wishing i hadn't.
we were never meant to be permanent
not in
mortality
so the story behind this, today, is that I got emotionally attached to a class I only have for three months ish. that's college for you.
and we came to the end of our time together today sitting around a table, slamming markers and gatorade down in a game in Portuguese I felt so content even knowing it was coming to an end even with the primal fear of someone aboard a speed train about to reach the end of the track one day, it will be permanent but not in this life I will see you all again on the other side Even if I never see you again in this mortal life
It comes down to the principle of Gatorade. That's what I call it because I remember a time when I was a kid that Gatorades were a prize. You could only obtain them by playing soccer because the other kids' soccer moms would bring Gatorade and CapriSun and all those glorious things your parents didn't get for you. Basically, you can't have one Gatorade forever. Makes sense, right?
But what if you could make a Gatorade last forever? What if you were in that one glorious moment forever? The sun shining off the thick clouds in the late golden hour, illuminating the greens and blues in the mountains around, the wind your best friend so exhilarating, the satisfaction of completing a soccer game you loved not for anything in particular other than the fact that you were outside and alive and proving yourself alive and you have a Gatorade.
Make that moment last forever. Now, what do you lose?
Years from now, you'll be at a movie night with friends. You will be scrunched between two people you love on a couch, or maybe curled cozily into a corner, or marinating in a beanbag with a super soft blanket. The movie is the greatest movie you've ever seen and it's only augmented by being cozy with true friends. One day you will finally achieve that skill you spend years trying to perfect. One day you might even learn to cook. You'll meet someone new a thousand times, then a million times. You'll even get to meet the same person again and again if you try. There will be so many people that come and go in your life. So many hobbies and loves and passions and YouTube recommendations.
You will change as a person and maybe you will be scared to. Maybe you'll long for the comfort and safety and glory of the Gatorade in the fresh air.
But if you remain there forever, you will never meet your best friend. You will never have that cozy movie night and never accomplish that tricky thing. You will never encounter so many things to love. TV show or drawing styles or color palettes or characters or songs. You're going to make an awesome PowerPoint one day. Would you give that up for the Gatorade you've already had?
As mortal beings we are confined to a timeline. Time-bound. Afterwards, though, we'll get to be whole, and let me tell you time isn't a problem for God. We'll get to remember each moment of joy we got to have down here on earth. We'll get to live each of them all at once if we want, and be with everyone we love all at once, forever, and I know I'm a mortal and probably butchering this description of what comes next because heck it I've not been there yet but that's sort of what it'll be like.
It's possible for everything we want to be permanent to be permanent in eternity. That's the point of eternity. That is not the point of mortality. The point of mortality is to do many things, experience many things, keep moving.
(As for the loved ones who stay in your life? They change, too, and that's beautiful.)
