I haven't been able to see my mother in a few days. People have been calling off at work so I keep getting called in. I ended up working a double shift the day after she dropped me off at my car. The last few days have just been a cycle of work and school with nothing in between. My meals have been fast food I shove in my mouth on breaks or the few minutes I can squeeze in.
I have been keeping steady contact with my mother though. I guess you could say that we are "dating" but it feels different. I don't feel the need to impress her or display some kind of better version of myself. It's my mother so even if I did she would see right through it. She is also fully herself around me. Usually, on dates, women seem like they are holding parts of themselves back. Even a simple text conversation
