My mom is the most positive person in the world that I know, and I would think highly of her even if she wasn’t a parent of mine. For the past half year or so she has been dealing with a type of cancer and it has been tough. I didn’t mention it until now because I didn’t want anyone to get worried. Ever since finishing school, however, I’ve been taking care of her and things for her while working, and I honestly feel like it has had a positive impact on both of us. Whenever I feel frustrated like I did earlier today, helping her out and stuff allows me to look outside myself and see someone who is fighting probably harder than I am. It‘s honestly one of the big reasons why the pandemic and everything hasn’t been a major blow to my confidence or happiness. Not saying it’s a good thing, but it inspires me even more to go above and beyond and to want to be there for and help others. My favorite sports team was losing today as well and I was feeling pretty crumby, but they came back to win it. Never stop helping others and never give up on what you want to accomplish in life. If you don’t, there‘s no telling what you can do.
