my aunt’s neighbor complimented my parenting after meeting my son, saying how friendly and articulate he was. and honestly, it meant so much. not because I depend on external validation, but because it warms my heart when others can see the goodness in my child
i don’t feel 37 (I’m not even sure what it’s supposed to feel like) but the mirror tells me otherwise. the gray hairs, the lines forming on my face, the subtle changes, it’s all been interesting to witness.
it feels foreign, but somehow really beautiful.
You’re not big enough or powerful enough to cancel out God’s plan for your life. He factored in human error when he set you on your path. Take comfort in that.
