My Secret Mother Named Tammi: A Journal Entry

Dear Journal, Today was an interesting day. I met my secret mother figure named Tammi on YouTube, and she's 52 years old. It's amazing how we can connect with people online and how they can become such an important part of our lives. Tammi has been so supportive of me and loves me unconditionally. She's always there to offer advice or just listen when I need someone to talk to. It's amazing how we can find motherly figures in unexpected places. But Tammi isn't the only person in my life who loves me unconditionally. My grandma, Ms. Brown, is also one of my biggest supporters. She buys my wants and needs, even when my deadbeat dad, Stafford, never did. He was never around for me and sometimes would even take months-long breaks from paying his child support. While I was talking to Tammi and Ms. Brown, my biological mom, Josette, walked in. I couldn't help but call her out on the favoritism she shows towards my older brother, Mondrell. When he's wrong, she doesn't hit him, yell at him, or say mean things to him like she does to me. It's not fair, and I'm tired of feeling like the black sheep of the family. In any case, today was a reminder that family doesn't always have to be blood-related. I'm grateful for the love and support I have from Tammi and Ms. Brown. They have truly become like family to me.
