I finally understood

I remember my parents' phrase "when you have your children, you will understand" a lot, it really shocked me. But now, with two children, I understand much more than I thought I understood.

Throughout my life, I have come to realize that every time something makes me angry, it is because there is some truth in it that I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR. That's right, anger has more to do with myself than with what is happening outside.

That's why when I first became a mom, I know I was very angry with my mom. It made me angry to know that she was right about so much and I was right about so little.

Becoming a mother has made me understand better how to be a daughter, and sadly I know that when I become a grandmother I will have understood how to be a mother. I understood that it will never be the right time, we will never have all the answers and if we are waiting for that, we will spend our lives waiting.

I probably don't understand anything about being a mother now, but I do understand the love I have for my children, for life, for my desires, and I plan to honor them.

Understanding my mother until I became a mother was like a bucket of cold water. I understood that we should not wait to understand in order to love. I know that at the end of the day my mother knows that I love her even though I didn't understand her. Now that I am a mother, I don't ask my children to understand me, I ask that they love me and respect me just as I do with them.

Now that I am a mother, and my mother is a grandmother, I can't stop asking myself: What opportunities do I have to thank my mother, now with understanding? What value is there for me in understanding my mother while she was alive?

The only thing that comes to mind is to be thankful. Gratitude is a blessing in this life, feeling grateful for everything and for nothing is one of the most beautiful pleasures in life.

Much of what we experience is a matter of perspective. Unfortunately, we have grown up believing that we cannot change our way of seeing things. But believe me, it is possible. There is a form of well-being motherhood, a motherhood where cold soup also tastes good.
