We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.

may have always been my fave month cos there are more public holidays and celebrations! and M stands for Mother! My mom's bdae happens to be in May so we always combine both the celebrations together =)
last wk I also had the chance to watch this new movie which is prob only shown in cathay? its called mother and child. its probably released cos its mothers day wkend.
anyway the movie is surprisingly nice. since i guess most wont go watch it, its abt 3 different woman who dont know each other at all but also somewhat intricately linked. sounds super confusing haha.
the main message is that blood although is thick, time spent together is as significant as well. One of the lead, she gt impregnanted at 14 and gave up her daughter for adoption.
her daughter grew up to be a successful lawyer played by naomi watts. her despite all the bitterness towards her mother was accidentally impregnanted as well despite having a ligation procedure done before. being a mother then, changed how she felt towards her mom and she started trying to look for her mom.
this is a screenshot of the movie, naomi watts mom with her housekeeper =) noami watts eventually died while giving birth due to excess loss of blood and ended up giving her newborn for adoption too. =) o well. i think my explanation is in bits n pieces but overall, the movie is abt mother's love =)
