Grandmothers teach us a lot of important things, often entertaining us at the same time.

1# Self-confidence

tonight my abuelita whispered, “I want to show you the most beautiful girl in the world,” solemnly leading me to a table packed with old family photos. with one, shaky finger, she pointed, slowly, to a photo... of herself

this is the energy i’m carrying with me into the new year

2# Dedication

My 87-year-old grandma has played Animal Crossing New Leaf on her 3DS every single day for the past 4 years now.

Her 3DS finally broke this year, so we got her a new one for Christmas. During a system transfer I checked her activity log: pic.twitter.com/R33KycrW4q

5# Favourite songs

I think a lot about that time my grandma called me to say she learned how to burn CDs on her computer & sent me one with her favorite songs on it but when I got it in the mail it was just ABBA’s “Waterloo” 17 times in a row.

8# Appreciating what you have

An actual phone conversation with my grandma:
"I know you're sad your best friend is moving"
Me: "yeah I am"
"Well my best friend died."
