today's mother's day. am i being a bad daughter by not buying anything for my mum? i think so but my mum says it's ok.
i woke early in the morning to wish her happy mother's day and give her a peck on her cheecks so that i'll be the first one to wish her. it turns out, i was the first and the only.
my brothers couldn't care less. most chidlren couldn't care less. not only my brothers. i feel there's not urgency to celebrate mother's day but it supposed to be a day where you wish you mum and maybe buy her flowers or something that she wants.
i haven't buy her anything yet. i told her, i'll get her something later. she said ok. i will get her something.
to me, it's important to celebrate this kind of occasions. some people think otherwise. my philosophy in life is to live life to the fullest. when you die, you won't be able to spend time with your loved ones because you're dead and they're alive. that's the difference in case you don't know.
now is the time to celebrate birthdays and mother's day or any other special days. treat it as important. not a duty but a habit you have so that you know that you've made full use of your time here on earth.
if you think it's a waste of time, don't force yourself. there's a barrier between force and willingness. do it out of willingness.
