Tumblr media
Other women in my Motherless Daughters group had warned me, so at least I was expecting it. But man, right in the feels 😭

The woman who lost her mother sends me a message. She says that life growing is not the same as forgetting and she sent me a picture to prove it. A little girl in the arms of a mother who lost her mother. Her middle name is my mother's first, she tells me.

A Motherless Daughter’s Gratitude on Mother��s Day
A Motherless Daughter’s Gratitude on Mother’s Day
For those out there missing their moms, I thought—as a woman who no longer has hers—I’d share a little of my own journey with you in the hopes it’ll bring some of you comfort, or perhaps give you a new perspective. And if you’ve not read the book Motherless Daughters, definitely pick that up. You’ll find in its pages voices who feel just like you, and that’s comforting, too. Also, all the photos…

#sorry im thinking abt death again#because it's weird to think that ive been in the room. maybe a meter away from someone as they died#that someone being my mom. its just weird. the time in the hospital feels like it happened in some dark little pocket universe detached from#time. a calm room and then the soft blips of a monitor then the nurse rushing in to say she'd passed#i dont kno y ppl use that phrase: passed on. i mean i do. it softens the topic. makes it sound peaceful. ive yet to use it. i just say she#died bc thats what happened. is that insensitive? i dunno. when i was home i realized that i come off as much stranger than i think. the way#my family see me doesnt fit how i see myself. i dont kno what to do with that. i dunno. theyre all together today#for an early easter. and im halfway across the country again. nose so stuffy ive had to mouth breathe for the last 3 days#and again. everything feels the same as it did before but also profoundly different. sometimes i cry in the mornings. or when i think abt#future vacations she wont be there for. bc in the end she quickly slipped away in a way that couldn't be described as peaceful until her#last half a day. and all i can think about in that tiny room is how scary it would be to lose control like that#and how its not fair and she didnt deserve to die only halfway through a lifetime. but its not about fair and its not about deserving.#sometimes bad things just happen. that's life. and now i own a book called motherless daughters. and now im standing with the countless#others who've lost their moms too early. ive already become aware of 3 ppl in my daily life who are in the same club#i keep thinking about this moment that happened between my parents at the hospital. apparently my dad was helping her get cleaned up and her#stomach was so bloated she looked like she had a bby in there. which my dad said. and my mom apparently said: but it's a baby no one want. i#dont kno y that upsets me so much. all the things i heard abt her being in the hospital before i got there upset me. and the rest of my#family was there to see it. so i have the least traumatic version of the story. and i got almost 27 years with her. except my sisters#probably got more time with her bc i spent so much time away. or maybe not. i dunno.#i dunno. im just sad that shes gone and sad that it was drawn out even a little bit. 6 days isnt long but im sure it felt like an eternity.#again not fair. nothings fair. 53 years of unfairness culminating in a tragedy. she would hate me characterizing it like that. she lived a#full life as they say. full with an asterisk on account of length#unrelated

Lovek is so pathetic in that he puts this exterior that's like as brittle and thin as a hollow chocolate rabbit, if he's given any amount of warmth that makes him feel like he matters it starts to melt and underneath u can see he's just a desperately lonely guy with such a low sense of self worth that he will become puddy in the hands of anyone who gives him the slightest bit of attention.

It's almost Mother's Day and you cannot get away from the advertisements.
To All the Girls who grew up without mothers, I see you.
To all the girls who have abusive mothers, I see you.
To all the girls who are currently not speaking to their mother, I see you.
To All the Girls whose mothers have died, I see you.
To All the Girls who are abandoned or neglected by their mothers only to have them come back into their lives I see you.
To all the girls whose mother figure was not actually their mother, I see you.
To all the girls who grew up in foster care, I see you.
To all the girls who are adopted, I see you.
From the age of 13 Mother's Day has made me Furious. From the days I worked in a mall and had to watch all the fawning mothers and daughters every single season, laughing and holding hands and being so happy together, well inside I raged and fumed and was miserable. And all the time thinking what made you so special that you got to have your mother and I did not?
I hold you all in my heart and I know how hard it is.

A few days ago I looked through my mothers pictures when she was young and I came across one where she was probably 20-22 years old. She was leaning back on her very first car and smiling big, incredibly proud of herself because she bought this car with her own money.
As I looked at this picture fondly remembering my mother and her laugh I recalled how she always said she hated her smile, that it looked ugly and she didn't like smiling in public. I always told her it was nonsense and how making my mom smile was my favorite thing to do in the world
I also remembered how I stopped smiling in my own pictures. Most of them just have me looking at the camera with very contained emotions. I didn't want to smile those big smiles because I didn't like how I looked. Giving the same reasons as my mother.
As I thought about my own smile I looked at this picture of my 20 year old mother and I realized she has given me her smile
Every time I felt joy I didn't know how to express I would smile this big smile that I hated on me but loved on my mother
Ever since she died I missed her smile, her laugh, her jokes not realizing that she has passed on her smile and laugh onto me.
She has been gone for over a year now but lately I have started to like my smile a lot more

Finding the in between of "Not intimidating enough to where people my age wont come up to compliment me" and "Dressed up enough to where older people and judgmental parents will shake their heads and the more bolder ones will actually say something" has been a very fun process

Dear Mama,
I wish I had given you the things you wanted to have. I wish I had spent more time with you so I was able to give you a simple treat that would make you happy.
Going to malls makes me sadder nowadays.
Always misses you,
Your princess

cream and cheese from my sonic prime au :]
originally, the two of them called deepfreeze domain "home." but that changed when g.u.n. came knocking on their door.
see, g.u.n. keeps tabs on anyone who forms a bond with a particularly strong wisp... for recruitment purposes, of course! and power is one such wisp--as it grants its partner temporary invulnerability. it's kind of like a super form, but without the chaos energy.
and so, seeing the potential in the young duo, g.u.n. demanded that they join the wisp races. but star's mom--this shatterspace's version of vanilla--didn't want her daughter involved in such a dangerous race, and she refused.
the thing about g.u.n., though, is that they don't really take "no" for an answer. so, they "disposed" of her... leaving star motherless, and very, very upset.
thankfully, syzygy heard the commotion and was able to rescue star and her wisp before they were snatched by the military. now, the three of them traverse space together, looking for a way to restore the planet to how it was before it broke in half, and before the wisp races ever existed.
