Mother knows best

I talked to my mom for a long time tonight about some of my frustrations. I felt that a lot of people are advising or expecting me to do some things that I wasn't sure were right for me. After listening to me go on, she cut me off suddenly.

Mom: Sisi, do you think I have outstanding children?

Me: . . .

Mom: Well the answer is yes. And how do you think they became that way? It's because they didn't do what everybody else did. They are unique because they did what was best for them, even if it went against expectations. Why would you want to be anything less than outstanding?

I love mothers. They make everything make sense.
