Lily was there with them as they unwrapped their gifts, and her mom did buy some gifts for Lily to open up as well.
Lily was so thankful and kind as she opened everything her mom bought for her, and then Lily started talking to her mom a lot.
All of this really brought out her own insecurities, especially about how Lily is more gifted with words than she is, so as she opened up her gifts, she was pretty silent.
“I try to always say something about the gifts my mom gives me because I want her to know that it means a lot, but I didn’t this time,” she said.
“I got the feeling my mom noticed and maybe thought I didn’t care about the gifts. It made me feel really bad. I got lots of snacks and a bouquet of roses this year. My mom even got me nail polish and told me she wanted to paint my nails.”
“I’m saying all this because I totally recognize how stupid this is; I know my parents love me and that I don’t deserve it. I’m just worried that since I’m plain and boring, they’ll eventually focus all their attention on Lily and won’t love me anymore. I know this is wrong, so how do I stop feeling this way?”
