I enjoyed this weekend. I spent some QT Adult time with my parents (Activites including alcohol consumption) and went to an awesome Breakdancing competition at The Breakfast Club (Charlotte NC). I'll speak on the competition a little more once I upload my videos of the French breakdancer that shocked the hell out of my sister and I. I need my ass whopped because I just posted about underestimating people based on appearances and I did it again. And I"ll be Damned if he proved all of my assumptions wrong.
Back to the message at hand. When my mom and I go places, I always end up driving. And I love my mom. But being that I'm 23 with no children and unmarried, she's entered a mild state of panic. Every single car ride includes a conversation about choosing the right man, whats the right man for me, has she raised me right, bringing up all my past mistakes...and blah blah blah motherfucking blah. But I was prepared for her this time. I read a post on a blog..and dang I wrote the name down wrong so I can't give credit. But if you read this. IT WAS A WONDERFUL POINT.
Anyway She stated that
"She wished she knew when she was 17 that there is no perfect person, only a person that is perfect for you. The person that finally gets you in ways that even your parents and best of friends do not."
That is so true. I'm weird. not your average and anyone who knows me can second that. My mom damn sure doesn't understand me. She loves me, but doesn't understand my operations. I just simply told her that quote and it shut her up. SHUT HER DowN! I wish I had read that post before our drive to Miami last October, because I was ready to commit suicide 2 hours in.
So I want people who read this to remember that. Especially people who always cling to the wrong type of person for the sake of not being alone. You will not find the perfect person, and no one is perfect because everyone has flaws. But. There are people who are perfect for you. People who may not be exactly like you, but understand and accept you for you. And loves you for all your quirks and you love them. And when I get that. She will damn sure have some grandbabies ,cause you wont be able to stop me :)
AND...I LOVE YOU MOM. IF You ever read this. Do not get defensive, you've been great.

23 years old, and not willing to settle for anything less than what is right for you. I'm sure your mom accepts and respects that part of you. It goes to show that her babygirl has brains.
i thought you might have found that already....i guess i was wrong
Yes boo, I second and third the notion.
Ahhh...mothers! Gotta love them! My mom still gives me (unwanted) advice! LOL
