So this past weekend was my college graduation..... with that being said my family came up to celebrate this wonderful occasion. (which included: my mother, nana, great aunt, 2nd cousin, brother, and hopefully future sister in law..... oh and my boyfriend too but he is always around.)
Things started out great.... we were all getting along, and despite the ugly weather managed to enjoy the beauty of good ol' Va, that is until my mother started to mention everything wrong about me and what I do. It started out with my lack of packing(which was true, I did manage to put off packing until well the last min like I always do) then it was my hair and my clothes and moved on to my weight and just any and everything that she could make a comment on she voiced her lovely opinion. (which reminded my why I was staying here in VA after graduation and she was going back home to TX) Now don't get me wrong here I love my mother with all of my heart but the fact that she feels that she has to say every thought that crosses her mind makes me realize that I want to be the type of person that people want to be around, regardless of what is going on. Now I'm not saying that I haven't said a few things ever now and then that may have been better left unsaid but I am saying that I am trying to check myself more often. and simply put it keep things that are better left unsaid alone, because life is too short and words are strong and once you but it out there it can never be taken back regardless of how many "I'm sorry" are followed. so make sure you choose your words wisely and remember that words are powerful no matter what form that come out as.
