finally understanding

my mom used to say stuff like "why bye the milk if the cow is free?" she was very wise even in her younger age i am only now understanding a lot of the things she said. like "dont help people who wont help themselves" and while a lot of them were brootal and harsh they were the truth and she only told the truth like her most commenly used ine ",lifes hard, get over it and itll be easyier."
