listen, I’m not the biggest fan of kids but if a child looks at me then you bet I’m gonna smile back at them. kids deserve to experience the world as a kind and safe place to explore okay.
Allow yourself to grieve for what could have been. Allow yourself to be how you are now. Allow the warmth to flow and let go. Trade in all the should have beens and could have beens for this moment, for what is, and start again.
