“When a daughter looses a mother, the intervals between grief responses lengthen over time, but her longing never disappears. It always hovers at the edge of her awareness, prepared to surface at any time and any place, in the least expected ways. This isn’t pathological. it’s normal. It’s why you find yourself at twenty-five, or thirty-four or forty six, unwrapping a present, or walking down an aisle or crossing a busy street doubled over and missing your mother because she died when you were seventeen”

i don’t drink enough water and i never get enough sleep, i’m a serial procrastinator and i’m perpetually stressed, i worry about everyone and everything, i don’t eat right or as much as i should and i get sick so often that my sick periods, they all seem to just blend together. i’m not good at taking care of myself but i will always tell my friends, “eat.”, “drink.”, “get your work done.”, “go to sleep.”, “be careful.”, “don’t be late.”, “don’t worry, everything will be fine.”, “don’t stress, you’ve got this.” i’ll always put others first and it will eventually wear me down until i am spread so thin that i am unrecognizable but that’s okay, because i will give my friends everything i have if it means that they are happy, that they are healthy. i will gladly light myself on fire if they say they need the heat. i know it’s unhealthy but i love them more than i could ever love myself. to me, they are worth more than my everything.
