I was talking to my mother earlier, an she complimented me for my demeanor. She said whenever my other siblings were facing various problems they'd lose their mind and act crazy, an I didn't react that way in those sort of situations. That woman taught me everything I know about being proactive instead of reactive, I have the mind of a successful person. Unfortunately I don't have the funds of a successful person. She taught me that it was okay to cry but ultimately it doesn't change your situation. I've been annoyed thinking about how people could misconstrue that I was raised not to have emotions, I was raised to do more with them. I was privileged with all the tools to be successful, I squandered them an I take full responsibility for my own mistakes an they shouldn't reflect negatively on my mother. I'm upset with myself because I'm just now utilizing them an showing gratitude when I could've made my mother's life significantly better if I thought to years ago. Another problem that shouldn't be attributed to my mother. You've done a wonderful job, Mom. I hope they can come to respect the mind you nurtured an enjoy the love you taught me to show.
