misinterpret

i want to dedicate this post to my mom.

i read somewhere a while ago that, in a general sense, humans use five love languages (quality time, touch, act of service, gifts and words of affirmation) when communicating love with each other. i learned that my GIVING love language is quality time and touch. and my RECEIVING love language is words of affirmation and quality time.

upon further investigation, i learned that my mother's love language is gifts. that is how she gives love. i am still working on learning her receiving love language.

that said, i wanted to spend a second to recognize my mom. whether you know her or not she is an amazing woman. we find it hard sometimes to communicate love with each other but when we get it, it feels great.

dear mom,

i love you so much, and for what you do for me, and what you have done for me, i am forever grateful. thank you so much for knowing what i need when i need it, and what i need even when you shouldn't be giving it to me.

i know we don't talk much but for every time you have been selfless, forgiving, understanding and unconditionally and compassionately loving, i am forever grateful.

you mean so much to me; and although i am taking my life in new directions and going on wild adventures to discover the meaning of life i always remember that back at home, waiting with seth and ray, there you are.

i love you so much, and i miss you.

thank you.

love.
