This Week, According To Rani...
The Mirrors Of Our Mothers...
There is something so beautiful about female relationships. Whether they are with our mothers, grandmothers, sisters or friends, they hold a kind of magic. The kind you notice in real time. It’s in the way they remember the smallest things, the way they show up without needing to be asked, the way they are just there when everything feels a little off.
We grow within these relationships. We borrow from them, sometimes without even realising. A turn of phrase, a way of dressing, the way we care for others. Little reflections that begin to feel like our own. You catch yourself doing something and think, that’s so her. And it is, but it’s you to now.
Mother’s Day has a way of bringing all of this to the surface. It reminds us to notice the women who have shaped us, in big ways and small. The ones who taught us how to put ourselves together before leaving the house, and how to pull ourselves together when things fall apart. The ones who passed down more than just clothes or keepsakes, but a way of being.
There’s something comforting in that. This passing down of softness, strength, humour, taste. Not in a heavy way, just in the everyday moments. Sitting at the kitchen bench, getting ready side by side, sharing clothes, sharing stories, sharing versions of ourselves.
Maybe that’s why they feel so special. They’re not just relationships, they’re mirrors. Showing us where we’ve come from, and gently shaping who we’re becoming. And today, it feels right to turn toward them, with a little more attention, and a lot more gratitude.
