Yesterday I was looking into replacing my acne medication. I usually bother my mom when I am running low to order some more, but I figured because I am both big and bad (also known as a working member of society) that I would do it myself.
Take the ease off of her. To switch gears, I have recently started to really see how much my mom does for me. I used to never be thankful for the role she played in my life, and am beginning to see now in my old age (just kidding) how important she has always been in my life. She may have never been someone I considered important, and this makes me so sad. Anyway, back to the acne medication... I figured that this acne medication would be about thirty bucks. Not a huge deal, just one of those things that is a life expense. I went to go look up the brand and the specific type, and I spit my coffee out. My mom had been buying me $200 per bottle acne medication for ten years. Now, people, I go through these bottles aggressively. I hate how my face is still acne prone, and I really go after it. But when I was younger I would just screw around with the medication. Not use it right.. Or use it at the wrong times. And my mom didn't kill me... I would kill me. She never complained, never uttered a word. She just supported me and always encouraged me to try new things to make my acne go away. On a bit of a serious note, it's been a hard time with my acne. It used to cystic and horrible to look at. It has definitely gotten better, but it still isn't great. My mom had always been the one to give me new things to try, suggestions, and just words of encouragement when I didn't feel beautiful. I'm tearing up thinking about it. You're the best mom, I am sorry I ever took you and your willingness to go above and beyond for me for granted. And thank you always for the acne medication.. Now that I've been using it right I think it's really starting to work.
