so i havent properly posted here in a while and if u scroll down far enough on my profile there are posts abt me having troubles with my mother not being accepting of my relationship with my girlfriend. she wasnt extremely against it, but there were moments where we fought abt it. anyways, the title.

now that im busy with college and work me and my mom make time to just sit down and have a drink to talk to each other. tonight was one of those nights. it started with a movie ("im drunk, i love you" which i highly recommend) and it was set in college so after the movie we started talking abt college experiences. she started talking about her friends and funny stories. then my friends came up.

the atmosphere was nice so we just kept talking and i opened up abt a traumatic moment in highschool that affected me til now and she went "Does [my gf's name] know?" and it caught me so off guard. she never rlly brings her up unless i start the convo abt her so i pointed that out. "Yeah, she takes care of me well, don't worry. Why'd you ask?"

"Nothing." was what she answered before we continued talking abt how i rlly love my friends. idk, i was drunk. still am actually. and since my gf was my best friend before we became official i talked abt her too. when i stopped talking to refill my glass, my mom went "You know, I feel like these people are the ones you'd grow old with."

I was caught offguard again, "Wait huh who" and she just named the three people i was talking about including my girlfriend then "From my perspective, she seems like someone who'd you be with for a long time." and i just started crying.

We talked about other stuff after that but that was something that stuck to me the most. idk, its one thing for my mom to tolerate me being in a same sex relationship, its another to actually hear her perspective on it. just felt like i should share. im still crying abt it. happy tears, dont worry.
