the glove compartment is inaccurately named

My mom's birthday is coming up pretty soon. She's such a difficult person to shop for. She's really simple and doesn't want anything. Ever. I wish I was exaggerating, but it's the truth. At the same time, I really respect her for that. She's the furthest thing from materialistic. The only things she likes material wise include paintings and antiques. So this year I decided to make a painting for her.


I was feeling inspired after STAC Art yesterday. When I got into the car I was telling my mom how I'm terrible at painting, but she was encouraging me to keep practicing and trying because she knows I could do it. Of course she's my mom and wants me to feel good, but whenever she does encourage me it's because she has absolute faith in me. (She also gives me criticism when needed, she never holds back with that.) But her faith really keeps me going in life. It's the best feeling to know someone is there for you and believes in you. So, here's to my favorite person in the world. Thanks Mom, I love you.
