Happy Mother's Day to my mom
May. 13th, 2024 05:34 pmMy parents are about 380 miles away, which means they're just one little phone call away. Seems like my mom is doing okay...she's still trying to convince Bern and I to move back to our hometown, which is probably not going to happen for awhile, whether or not Bern and I want to make it happen. My sister just got off the phone with her from a separate call, according to Connie, our mom has been feeling a bit lonely. She also tried convincing my sister to move back in (objectively, she probably needs to move back temporarily because her rent has been kind of costly). My sister is superstitious and she thinks there's a ghost in her old bedroom. These were my mom's exact words to her, "She's not here anymore, you can come back now". I'm not much of a believer, but I think my mom should just hang talismans around, just so my sister feels better about returning home.
I'm sure my brother and my sister-law took our mom out to brunch, I feel like they're good about this kind of stuff.
Other than that, as usual, I've been bottling my feelings all related to the Western hegemony. I'm not going to get into details, but if you're broke like me and you want to start to 'do something about it', I found a link that gets funding through a click that goes towards Palestinians-- so try to incorporate this into your routine. I believe they take one click per day? I also did a bit of social media- cleaning. I've already filtered out keywords pertaining of reality tv celebrities and their exes since March 2020. ..I'm still trying to find the nicest way to re-explain to Connie that I don't want to hear about them every time she sends me a video clip involving them. I certainly do not want to purchase any of their products. It's hard to get into a lot of guilty pleasure entertainment when my mind is somewhere else. I even blocked a few of my favorite artists, and it's not personal-- what's the point of having your voice get heard if they're not going to use it? The goal is to make sure that they become aware because saving people's lives is a priority.
Anyway, I'll end my post with this drawing I did for a couple weeks ago:
I've been going through some random Asian bridal pics through Pinterest. So many great poses for drawing inspiration.
