One of the best feelings in the world is receiving good news. It could be something big, like achieving a goal you have been working towards, or something small that simply puts a smile on your face. Whenever something good happens to me, there is one person I always want to tell first—my mother.
My mum has always been my biggest supporter. Since I was little, she has celebrated my victories, comforted me during difficult times, and encouraged me whenever I felt like giving up. Because of that, she naturally became the first person I think of whenever I have good news to share.
I still remember how excited I was when I created my Hive account and started receiving my first rewards. Even though my mum didn't fully understand how Hive worked, she listened carefully and shared in my happiness. Her excitement made me even happier because I knew she was genuinely proud of me.
For me, sharing good news with my mother is not just about informing her about what happened. It is also a way of saying, "Thank you for being part of my journey." Every little success I achieve somehow feels incomplete until I share it with her.
As for whether I am the first person she tells when she has good news, I would say yes, sometimes. There are moments when she calls me excitedly to share something positive, and I always feel honoured that she thought of me. It makes me feel trusted and valued.
However, if I am being honest, I don't expect to always be the first person she tells. Everyone has different relationships and connections. There may be times when she chooses to share something with my father, a sibling, or a close friend before telling me, and that is perfectly okay.
But if there was someone I always shared my good news with, and they never did the same with me, I would probably feel a little hurt.
Not because I believe I own their happiness or because they owe me anything, but because I would wonder if our relationship means as much to them as it means to me.
Still, I have learned that people express closeness differently. Some people are naturally private, while others like sharing everything immediately. Therefore, instead of becoming angry, I would try to understand their reasons.
At the end of the day, good news becomes even more special when it is shared with people who genuinely care about our happiness.
And for me, no matter how old I become or how many people I meet, I think my mother will always remain the first person I want to call whenever life gives me something worth celebrating.
