The first person I will always tell about my goodnews is my mom. We have always had that relationship since my school days and till date. Whether it's an opportunity, a personal achievement and even the little things that brighten up my day. I have a good relationship with my mom. I know I have the personal habit of keeping things to myself. My friends will always complain about that, but it's all different with my mom and that's because she's not just a parent to me, but my biggest supporter, and she's that person I know who is genuinely happy for me. She celebrates my victory like it's her own and I like that look on her face each time she celebrates me. |![](https://i.ecency.com/DQmerEi1cYodJmwhGudzzniPgva9ojZswrYiAL7oTwrSv86/1782372395458.jpg) _{***Image is Mine***}| |-------| My mom has seen me through many stages of my life, from birth till date, even when I knew nothing about growth, she was there to celebrate every step I took as a kid. She is a mother that has seen me struggle, make terrible mistakes, thrive to learn and grow to be the adult that I'm now. So, amongst everyone that I know, my Mom will always be genuinely happy for me, she will understand the struggles, patience, efforts and sacrifice it took to feel genuinely happy. And seeing her happy because I'm happy encourages me to keep pushing forward and not giving up. I'm not the first person she tells her goodnews though. I might be the second or third, but not always the first. Her good news always goes to my dad first, and I understand that very well. I really don't have issues with that, and I don't think I will ever do . At the end what really matters to me is the bond we share, and the fact that she listens and celebrates with me always/anytime, and I'm also very grateful for the moments she chooses to confide in me too. The opportunity to celebrate with someone first hand is always a privilege and I would never take that for granted. Just because I didn't get the first call or text about a person's goodnews doesn't make them bad friends. This shouldn't be the only measure to meaningful and good friendships. Everyone has their first favourite person to call, and I'm okay with that, it doesn't have to be me. |![](https://i.ecency.com/DQmbiYU28dg2hQFA4zyGrtyeKupe8gKnmJfeE75ABppSd58/1782372447157.jpg) _{***Image is Mine***}| |-------| I understand that for most people decisions like this are usually based on the circumstances surrounding them, they are waiting for the right time to spill the tea, their emotions and feelings could influence them, and even the nature of the news. Whether you get to tell me your goodnews or not we are friends, what matters the most to me in a relationship is honesty, respect, mutual understanding and support. And whenever they eventually share their goodnews, it will always be a privilege to celebrate with them. At the end of the day, I am forever thankful that I always have my mom to celebrate life's good and great moments with. Over the years, her continuous support in my life, and her unconditional love has made every achievement, no matter how little it might be , she makes it feel more great and meaningful. No matter how old I get, how far I go or how independent I become in this world, I think she will always be one of the first people I want to share my good news with, because that's all she anticipates for. It feels really great sharing my joyful moments with someone who truly cares about your happiness and sees it as a blessing, and for me, that person is always my mom.
