dancing, singing, laughing, engaging in any conversation that goes beyond ordering them around… that kind of responsiveness and mutual enjoyment gives me hope for the world

i don't want kids, never really have, and i don't interact with them very often in my life. however, when i go to the coffee shop or the park or the farmers market, whatever, and i watch a parent who looks at their child with unconditional adoration and answers all their endless "why" questions and just does small things to care for them without thinking about it is delightful. as someone who no longer talks to one of their parents, it gives me some hope to see people who seem to be trying their hardest and enjoying it.

And by that I mean whole humans with their own views, preferences, ideas, beauty, personality. Even babies come out of the womb with their own unique energy, it's miraculous! I love getting to know my children. I love spending time with them. I miss them even when they're just sleeping upstairs. Of course I'm their parent and need to instill boundaries and what not, but I do think the way I inherently view them makes it easy for me to do so in a respectful and empathetic manner. What a gift it is to witness the world through their eyes. We really are all just wanting to be seen, loved, and respected. I love being a parent. I love working with kids. It really is an honor, for real.

after five years of grad school and subsequent job search, i can finally say i have successfully changed careers 😭 i start my new job counseling kids at a community mental health clinic on Monday. yesterday was my last shift at the grocery store that was an escape from my horrible corporate job and a sustaining force throughout grad school. it’s so bittersweet to leave the sweetest coworkers i’ve ever had and the most fun i’ve had at work. it’s immeasurably healing to quit a job for only good reasons. my coworkers got me a cake, everyone wrote notes in a card, and the goodbyes throughout the day made my heart swell. i even got to tell the good news to my favorite instacarter 🥺 after i clocked out for the last time, my friends joined me for gelato at the cafe and we strolled the store for a final time, this time as simply a loyal customer.
