but far enough that i think i can mark this one off.

over my last trip to toronto, and after quite possibly one of the worst months in my life, i had some really good conversations with my mom, including one where i was able to totally open up to her instead of my usual hiding or ‘non answers’ (i’m horrible at lying but good at only giving the minimal answer required).

i definitely appreciate my mom, more so now that i’m older and know that just like my best friends, she will always be there for me through thick and thin.
