Mothers & daughters is without a doubt my favorite song I’ve ever written. There’s something so honest about acknowledging that your mom is also just a girl living life for the first time too. I held a lot of resentment towards my mom in my later teen years as I navigated my relationship with food, god and my body. But the older I get and the closer my mom and I have become the more I’ve realized she is the greatest friend I have ever had. I sometimes can’t fathom that she had me at twenty-two years old. I am twenty-seven and the idea of raising a daughter without passing on any of my current burdens seems impossible. As life keeps spinning, I only find more empathy and understanding for my mom. And not only for her but also my mom’s mom and so forth. We are all a cycle of women learning how to raise other women in a society that tells us that we’re never doing enough. And I know it’s not the case for everyone but for some of us one day we wake up and realize our mothers were more than enough. And not only that, but we’re exactly like them.❤️

Lyrics
Sometimes when I think I’m in trouble
I’ll tell a white lie
I’m usually a little bit late
Because I’m terrible with time
Ironically I don’t believe in authority
Cause she made me defiant
I’m ashamed to say there was a day
I cared about what my size is
I’m slowly becoming my mother
We’re even beginning to look like each other
From screaming I hate you
And you’re ruining my life
To panic attacks about the day that she dies
I’m slowly becoming my mother
What an honor
I’ll swear I have perfect vision except when I drive
If somebody offers tequila I’ll never think twice
I get too invested with political opinions online
If anyone needs anything well okay give them mine
I’m slowly becoming my mother
We’re even beginning to look like each other
From screaming I hate you
And you’re ruining my life
To panic attacks about the day that she dies
I’m slowly becoming
Mothers and daughters
We’re raising each other
And talking our shit
About fathers and brothers
And trying to break habits
From her mother’s mother
Til you’re twenty something
And realize you are her
I’m slowly becoming my mother
And someday when I have a daughter
She’ll scream I hate you
And I’m ruining her life
And I’ll call my mama
And she’ll say it’s alright
Cause someday she’ll be her mother
What an honor
