sad girl story
The toughest thing about losing my mom was losing the courage to live life to the fullest.
When she was around, I knew that no matter how bad things could get, I could always come home to a bowl of sinigang. No matter how sick I am, there would be someone who would force me to use Vicks for relief. No matter how far I go (even if it's in an entirely different continent), someone’s going to video call me just to watch if I’m doing my laundry correctly. No matter how big (or ridiculously small) the milestones I set for myself are, someone will always be on my team to cheer me on and say "alam ko talagang kaya mo yan". No matter how many bad decisions I commit, someone is going to tell me that it's a learning experience and that I'm forgiven. No matter how many times my heart would get broken, my mom would be there to pick up the sharpest pieces off the ground.
Losing her was losing her unconditional love forever. No amount of prayers and well-intended comforting words can cover up the fact that no one is ever going to love me as selflessly as she did.
But mom said before she went on her way, that she wanted me to not miss her as much and to make sure I live a long and happy life. And that she’s confident I’ll make her proud. So I will. Because mom knows best.
‘mom knows best’ is for the sad girls wishing the people who loved them the most were here.
