Having deep honest conversations with your mother
about the patterns she’s observed in your life but didn’t share until now after you opened up because she didn’t want to impose or offend

mother, am I who you thought I’d be, when you first held me close, so lovingly? you’ve said before that you’re not disappointed, but I’m still ashamed, confused, disjointed- in life - I’m lost sometimes, apathetic, scared of change, fear of the mirror, the person, it’s strange. I just want to know if I’ve made you proud, yet I’m too fucking afraid to ask aloud, “mum, am I what you hoped to see, when you gave the world a part of me?” I‘ve never meant to cause you worry. *I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.*

My mom is a VAULT and won’t grow and change if her life depended on it but I have already broken that cycle 💗

Play your mom a song you like
when you’re catching up or asking advice or fighting or putting up boundaries, whatever your relationship, play your parent a song you’ve been listening to a lot. even if they don’t get it, it’s a revelatory experience if you let it be

Judging your mothers and fathers less
it can expose secrets you never knew you held inside about yourself, and expand your capacity to love

Never changing
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
