Why I'm telling you about this movie is the loving relationship between Billie (Awkwafina) and her grandma. Her grandma told Billie that despite being rejected for a fellowship she will SUCCEED. And no matter what happens, her grandma is always there supporting her.
This reminds me so much of my mom. When my 10 year old relationship ended, my mom said she wasn't worried about me being alone. She said "my daughter is so beautiful and strong, she won't have any problems finding anyone!" She definitely had more faith in me than I did!
After the movie, I bumped into a couple of friends. One who just started a new job at Rosie's Place. She is in charge of volunteers! They are in need of volunteers especially in Sept when students go back to school. And this is just what I need - the feelings I get when volunteering are amazing. I can't describe it and I feel like this is my mom's doing. Telling me to have faith and believe in myself. Also, get my ass out there to help people!! Ok, Mom - I'm on it.
