Okay I started writing this three times and deleted it twice so we're just going to go for it. 🔬💀
Ava has always had something underneath the beautiful that existed long before the beautiful arrived.
When we were kids she had this stillness no other child had. More settled. More certain. And kids feel that even when they don't understand it. They just gravitate toward it like it's warm. 🌸
My best theory? While the rest of us were absolutely feral on juice boxes and fruit snacks at recess Ava was just… not doing that. Completely unbothered by everything including the concept of a Lunchable.
Carnivore since birth basically. 💀🥩
A waiter loses his train of thought mid-sentence. A stranger holds a door open and stands there a beat too long. A room full of people and you always know exactly where Ava is without looking.
Saturday night at that restaurant was just the latest version of something I've been watching my whole life.
She's not trying. She never tries. That's the whole point. Some people are just built different.
And I got a front row seat to one of them. 💙
Stay Cool 💋
