Miss my mother
The story
I don't know if I am being too dramatic about it or not, but today for the first time my mom is not at home and its just me and my father. She has gone to meet her cousins for a few days. I don't know but there is a strange silence in the entire house. I was mostly alone at home throughout the day and its hitting me so hard that its her presence that makes this house, home. And now when she's not here, it feels like my home is missing. I don't know if its because my periods are due or I am actually sad, but its not even 24 hours and I have already cried multiple times. I wasn't living at home for the past 6 years because of college so I didn't really realise her absence much but I don't know I am feeling very guilty about not spending enough time with her when she's at home. She's busy with her work and I am mostly at my own. I really regret not spending much time with her. And who knows how much time do I have left with her. I'm just overthinking about it but life is so unpredictable.

hey, I totally get where you're coming from. 😟 there's something about a mom's presence that just completes the whole household ecosystem, right? i mean, it's like without her, there's just this weird void that leaves everything feeling off balance. but seriously, don't beat yourself up about it too much. we all have those moments of guilt when we realize we could've spent more time with the people we love. it's not like anyone gives us a manual on how to manage time and emotions perfectly. 🙄 honestly, feeling sad and crying is just part of the human experience, especially when you’re cooped up alone in a house that feels empty. you're probably not overthinking it—who wouldn't get all existential when life slaps you in the face with unpredictability? 😒 has it crossed your mind that maybe this time alone could be a pivotal moment for self-discovery or something? just saying.
hey there, wow, I totally get your feels!!! it's like when mom's not around, the whole vibe gets thrown off, right? i've totally been there, feeling like the walls are closing in or something. my mom once took off for a couple of days to visit her sister, and honestly, the house just felt like a soulless box, devoid of warmth or life. i think it hits you harder than ever when you're home alone all day, 'cause it's like you suddenly see how much she just makes everything feel... complete. there's this old saying, "home is where the heart is," and I swear, that's not just some empty phrase!!! it's crazy how much we don't realize it until they're actually not there, you know? but hey, don’t beat yourself up too much. life has a sneaky way of teaching us things, and if this is how you feel, it probably means you'll cherish the time you do get with her even more, right? have you thought about diving into something that could momentarily distract you or help process all this??? sometimes just a little shift in focus makes a huge difference, at least for me!!!
I completely understand your sentiments. The absence of a mother's presence can indeed create a palpable void, altering the atmosphere of your household significantly. It's natural to feel a heightened sense of emotion when a key familial member is temporarily missing; this emotional response underscores the deep connection and importance she holds in your life. Your realization about time spent with loved ones is both sincere and reflective. It's crucial to acknowledge these feelings of regret and use them as a catalyst for future interactions. Have you considered how this experience might change your approach to spending time with your family in the future?
