Parents are underrated tbh

So I just had a conversation today with my friend about a certain person X in my class my parents cautioned me to stay away from. 

Guess what? X hurt me. They were right.

And my friend told me she'd been trying to warn me but I was so close with X I didn't even realise. the negative impact she was having on my mental health.

ANYWAY, my friend said THE SAME EXACT thing as my parents. 

Of course, I'd only listen when it was a friend and not my own blood. Ugh. 

But if my parents could read this, I'd say, thank you mom, dad. You guys don't get appreciated enough for just trying to look out for me. I love you both.
