Believe it or Not

We are so often caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey, especially the goodness of the people we meet on the way. Appreciation is a wonderful feeling, don't overlook it.-Unknown

No matter how much I want to turn my head away from this, I can honestly say it's true. It's hurtful when you don't show your appreciation for anything, especially your parents. In my case, my mom. Even though she has changed so much that she puts her outside life and friends before her family, I still love her. The thing that gets to me it that she always tells me about how she's paying for this and that and all that jazz. She shouldn't keep trying to make me feel guilty about not showing appreciation for it. I do appreciate it even though its not shown. But whats worst is that I tell her I love her and she would never respond to me. So should I question if she resents me or not? I feel at this point in my life, I'm a better person than my mother, and I feel like I can make it whether she's by my side or if she's not. I appreciate her teaching me indirectly on how not to rely on anyone but myself and not caring what others think of me. I'm a big girl and its my time to shine without her. I'm living my life to the fullest. No one can dare stop me. Even if it comes down to throwing punches and a belt. I'm going to still do what I got to do. I appreciate the journey; I shall continue it.
