Sometimes I look at my kids and realize

 Sometimes I look at my kids and realize

I don’t want them to be a reflection of me
I want them to be the version of themselves I never got the chance to grow into

Smarter
Calmer
More confident
More healed
More free

I’m not raising a mini me
I’m raising the upgrade
The one who gets to start farther than I ever did
The one who gets a childhood I had to learn how to give
The one who gets softness without earning it first

That’s the whole goal
To build a life they can leap from
Not one they have to climb out of

If they outdo me in every way
That means I did it right
