This began to hit me really recenty.
My mom asked me to help her up the stairs the other day. I told her ur getting old as a joke but in reality she couldn't make it at all, She smiled and laughed it off, suggesting that she isnt and shes just tired, but it killed me because when I was a kid my mom would chase me up and down those stairs, laughing while doing it. It was my grandmother who couldn't make it then and always asked us for help up the stairs. Suddenly, my mom is in the same position as my grandmother, who passed away not too long ago.
I see her a lot differently after that. When I was a kid, she seemed invincible and able to do anything. Now? She's aging, slowing down, and sad to say but she’s dying.. and I'm much more aware of it.She's told me that this is just the way of life and that she's enjoyed hers and plans on enjoying whatever life she has left, but I'm definitely more aware of her health problems and general condition and it destroys me to see her growing older like this.
it's a little weird. I was prepared for my grandmother to pass because of her age and health these last couple of years, but I guess I never thought about my mom in a way other than being my knowledgeable, flawed, invincible mom who would always be there for me. i just dont know what to do with myself…
so i have this theory that i’m never gonna get married, but it’s going to be by choice. ever since i was old enough to comprehend relationships, marriage, and divorce, i’ve had this thought.
what’s the point of getting married, like actually. other then the fact that your family watches you share a love with someone, and you have a legal document that proves that you love that person.. in my opinion a document doesn’t prove anything. think about it, everyone’s gonna lie, cheat, and treat you horrible, even if you’re married to them. marriage doesn’t stop all that. but it does make it harder to get out. you have to go through divorce, go to court, get a lawyer, and even pay. what if my spouse was abusing me, or cheating on me, and i decided to leave. if i wanted to fully let them go, i would have to go through all that just to be free from them.
in my opinion i’d rather just have promise rings and maybe like a little party that celebrates us, instead of a big wedding. this could be my commitment issues talking, but i genuinely don’t think i want to get married.
now someone tell me reasons i should look at this differently and give me some other points of view :)
Back in the days of Kik in my middleschool years, I dated this one guy. We'll call him Flare. Flare was an okay dude, we didnt do anything sexual, I wouldnt call it love but we were okay together. Stuff started getting a little weird when he tried to send me a whole ass Xbox. It made me uncomfortable to give him my address, so i kept saying no even after he insisted. This was the start of a v ery rapid decline in our "relationship". In the end, one of our mutual friends tried to help mediate, but when we went back to a 1 on 1 conversation, Flare threatened to kill himself if I broke up with him. I dont remember exactly what I said, but I blocked him on kik. Havent heard from him since, still wonder if he actually did,,
