Meltdown Day

Today I had a meltdown. And boy, was it a doozy. I'm not going tell you what triggered it, I'm just going to tell you it happened. And when I say meltdown, I mean meltdown. I'm generally pretty happy and easy going. Today, that was nowhere to be found. I'm thankful that I was home alone when it happened, because I wouldn't have known what to do if my roommate had been there. I just flat out got to the end of my rope with a situation and the gasket blew and there was nothing holding it in. Mascara ran down my face as I sobbed, my eyes got all puffy, and anger, frustration and hurt filled me.

And at 6:30am her time, my mom listened to all of my emotions and calmly gave me advice. She acknowledged the hurt that I was feeling and prayed with me and helped calm me down and told me how excited she was that I will soon be home. My mom and I have had our differences and still do at times. But she's my mom and I know that she loves me. So, Mom, thank you. Thank you for being there for me on my "Meltdown Day." Thank you for listening to me. Thank you for calmly giving me wise advice. And thank you for loving me. I love you, too.
