Why is that when babies stare at us in their infant innocence—we respond by making funny faces?
I’ll tell you.
Because something about that infant gaze slices through our adult armour.
You know the one—etched into our faces by rent, heartbreak, shame, deadlines, and the knowledge that the world, if left unchecked, will eat us alive.
But a baby doesn’t know that yet. They don’t know shame or rejection or inflation. Their stare is not of judgment or desire. It is raw notice—pure, untainted attention. And in that moment, we become what we no longer believe we are: worthy of being seen.
So we react. Not with logic. But with instinct. Goofy tongues out. Cheeks puffed. Eyes wide. We become literal Mr Beans—Jim Carreys—shamelessly contorting our faces for their amusement.
Why?
Because deep down, we want to be met with something just as unfiltered, just as unspoiled. We meet their blank-slate stare with our own theatre of silly, hoping to touch—if only for a second—the version of ourselves that hasn’t been gutted by adulthood.
It’s not the baby’s stare we’re reacting to. It’s the part of ourselves they resurrect.
And we think we’re the ones entertaining them.
But maybe, just maybe, they’re the ones saving us.
It's 2025, and we're drawing a line in the sand. As women, we're no longer apologizing for:
1. Embracing our independence: Not wanting marriage or kids is a choice, and it's ours to make.

The more you know, the more you realize how much you don’t know. The less you know, the more you think you know everything. Knowledge is humbling. Ignorance is arrogant.
Fuel is too expensive for you to think anyone putting on their gen that long is doing it out of wickedness and it's not hurting them too.
