So now if I had to choose one person I lost many time with, it would be my mom. She is not just my mother, she is my best friend, my biggest supporter and the person who understands me better than anyone else. Of course, as her daughter, I’ve known her for my entire life, but as I’ve grown older, I’ve come to appreciate her even more. She knows absolutely everything about me, my dreams, my struggles, my silly worries and I never have to pretend to be someone else around her. I still remember one evening when I came home completely exhausted after a long and stressful day. I barely had the energy to talk with someone, but as soon as my mom saw me she could tell something was wrong. Instead of asking me questions, she just made me cup of tea, sat next to me and said, you don’t have to say anything, just relax. As that moment I realized how much she truly understands me, sometimes even without words. We ended up talking for hours and by the end of it I felt so much lighter. And that’s what I love about her, she knows what I need, she always knows what I need, even if I don’t say it out loud. The most favorite thing about her is that she never judges me. No matter what decision I make, she always supports me even if she doesn’t always agree. They say home is not a place, it’s a person. And for me that person is my mom. As long as I have her, I’ll be okay.

So now if I had to choose one person I love spending time with, it would be my mom. She is not just my mother; she is my best friend, my biggest supporter, and the person who understands me better than anyone else. Of course, as her daughter, I've known her for my entire life, but as I've grown older, I've come to appreciate her even more. She knows absolutely everything about me: my dreams, my struggles, my silly worries, and I never have to pretend to be someone else around her. I still remember one evening when I came home completely exhausted after a long and stressful day. I barely had the energy to talk with anyone, but as soon as my mom saw me, she could tell something was wrong. Instead of asking me questions, she just made me a cup of tea, sat next to me, and said, 'You don't have to say anything, just relax.' At that moment, I realized how much she truly understands me, sometimes even without words. We ended up talking for hours, and by the end of it, I felt so much lighter. And that's what I love about her; she knows what I need. She always knows what I need, even if I don't say it out loud. My favorite thing about her is that she never judges me. No matter what decision I make, she always supports me, even if she doesn't always agree. They say home is not a place; it's a person. And for me, that person is my mom. As long as I have her, I'll be okay.
