(A 4Chan "green-text" with a picture of Wojak)

my mom left school at 16 due to poverty

never showed much interest in books, music etc

retired last year

has since been reading through all the books I left in boxes at home

her enthusiasm for reading is so pure l feel bad for not enjoying reading that much these days

she kept asking me if I was writing a book and said she could "never do that"

picked up the hint and encouraged her to give it a go, without getting my hopes up

that-feeling-when she sent me a story she wrote about two rabbits who become friends

that-feeling-when it made me cry and feels more honest than anything I've written

How to cope with this feel bros?

l love my mum so much.

In my experience, moms are precious but may not understand the value of a game system. Mine sold my original Nintendo at the garage sale for $5. They mean well. Most of the time :P
