I never dodged reading out loud in class. I was praying the teacher would pick the longest paragraph so I could show off my vocabulary and pronunciation. 😭😭
But beyond all the achievements, I pray that you are okay. That you are happy, safe, loved, held and surrounded by people who pour into you as much as you pour into everyone else. I pray that life is gentle with you.
Maybe i am too woke but I'm actually glad birth rates are declining. Not because children are a burden, but because more people are finally realising they're not fit to be parents and that's a far kinder decision than bringing a child into a life they're not prepared for.
