Is your mom your best buddy to dump everything and feel better?
Is your mom your best buddy to dump everything and feel better? Yes, to me she is one but over the years I want to change this scenario. Many times I think I should solve my problems myself and don’t bother her anymore. Now we both have grown up and we have our own set of issues to solve. But I wonder to what extent is this possible?
Mom your best buddy, your comfort cushion
What has changed in these years is that now I talk to her after I have fought the battle alone and want some appreciation. I know what she’s going to say but I want to listen to her say the same. It gives me strength that someone is there to appreciate me and say that I am correct.
Even if I am wrong at some point, I want her to say those comfort words, ‘koi baat nahi, galtiyaan sabse hoti hai’. Mom is the one who lifts up my mood and I feel all charged up.
I am brave
I solve my issues with my own courage and willpower. I wait for my subconscious mind to register that all is well and will gradually be back to normal. But till that time, I avoid talking to her about the subject. I don’t want to tense her. You know how moms are. Even if they can’t be with you physically, they become worried until you are not at peace again.
When we smile here, they feel good there.
Once things get back to normal then I may proudly tell her how I overcame a situation bravely.
Sometimes are very difficult
At times, during the course of time, it becomes very hard to keep yourself positive and work stress-free. I keep talking to my God to gain strength and increase my willpower. Still, at times, I feel suffocated. I fail to keep it just to myself. On trying hard, I don’t feel comfortable and talk to my mom.
I feel good!
Things fall into their correct places and the puzzle is solved. I feel stress-free. I ask God why am I still dependent on her. Why do I still need her to calm my senses down?

Maybe that’s why God has created moms. Maybe that’s why we are born through moms and not fathers.
My mom sends me good morning messages daily. Some time back, I would just see but wouldn’t bother to reply on time. Then one day, I realised that sending a smile hardly takes a second and makes her day. After all, she’s still the one who says those magical words, ‘koi baat nahi, sab teekh ho jayega’ and you feel better.
Do you message your mom often and gift her a smile?
Beautiful post Geets, you are blessed and sending back that smile really really matters
Thanks, Roma. Yes, it’s so true.
