Wait till you have kids that behave just like you

 “Wait till you have kids that behave just like you.”

I did.

I had the loud one.
The sensitive one.
The stubborn one.
The one who feels everything so deeply it spills out in tears and laughter.
The one who needs extra cuddles, extra patience, extra reassurance.
The one who shuts down when it all feels like too much.

And I realized… that was me.
That is me.

And suddenly, I saw myself through gentler eyes.
I saw how easy it is to love someone like that.
How easy it is to be kind.
To offer softness instead of shame.
To hold space for the chaos and the calm.

Loving them helped me learn to love the parts of myself I once tried to hide.
They didn’t make me harder to love.
They just reminded me I never was.
