This topic really strikes a chord with me. I was a mama’s boy, and it’s been six years since she passed away. The silver lining—or at least in this regard—is that I’ve kept myself busy. I don’t think I did very well on that exam, so I’ve been totally focused on submitting one last one to see if I can pass and continue with my graduate studies.
Hello everyone in the HIVE OPEN MIC community! It’s
here, and this time I’m participating in Week 317, titled “Celebrating My Mom.” I didn’t want to leave this post until the last minute—I always try my hardest to post on time each week, but this time I slipped up and didn’t want to let you down. I hope to stay on schedule from now on, for real. Graduate school exams are in full swing—this is really driving me crazy—and I’m also working on my thesis, though I’m still a bit lazy. I’m reminded that I was given the opportunity to continue this graduate program in Marine Biology, so I need to keep pushing myself. After all, I want to earn this master’s degree, and maybe now I’ll finally fall in love with the marine field. I think I’ve been listening to this song my whole life, but I never really took the time to learn it by heart. It’s only now that I can truly relate to it. The song was made famous by Rocío Dúrcal and is titled “Eternal love.” I didn’t want to keep thinking about whether another song might come to mind; I’m happy with how my choice turned out for this week. I definitely needed to do this one—I feel like it really resonates with the week, even though I don’t think I sounded quite right, and I respect it if you didn’t like how it all turned out.

These occasions—like Christmas or his birthday—tend to hit me hard. After all, he was Mom’s favorite; we lived alone, and we were the ones who always supported each other in everything, at least professionally. I know she would have been the first to encourage me to pass this graduate program and would have given me all the help she could offer. I suppose that even though I keep complaining to her that I don’t like the field of study, I do want to get that master’s degree more for her sake.
People always told my mom what a good student I was, so it really weighs on me that she didn’t get to see me graduate with my bachelor’s degree. Even though there were times when I doubted I’d make it, I know she never did. I was her only child to earn a college degree, but I think I’d be the first in my mother’s family to earn a master’s degree, so I’d really like to achieve that—even if it’s in a field I’ve never been particularly interested in or enjoyed.
I try to let all the things in my life flow, I might try to force everything a little bit, like with the Marine Biology postgraduate course or trying to be constant in Hive, but whatever ends up turning out, I know I will know how to accept it. Grateful for all the good things that have happened to me and the bad things that I have gotten rid of, for your support, I hope you also visit my other posts, good luck with your content and see you next week.
