So many people love to say

 So many people love to say

“i’m her ___”

they love the title
they love how it sounds
they love how it looks online

but if i asked them anything real…

what calms her down
what she reaches for when she’s tired
what snack she asks for every single day
what makes her laugh the hardest

they wouldn’t know

because being in a child’s life
isn’t something you say

it’s something you learn
it’s something you show
it’s something you prove
over and over again

and the hardest part?

realizing the people
you thought would be the most present

are the ones
who slowly became strangers

no fight
no big moment

just silence
where effort should’ve been

so yeah…

titles don’t impress me anymore

consistency does
