  • The Ones I Go To

    The Ones I Go To

    List the people you admire and look to for advice…

    I don’t usually share this.

    .

    People might think I’m joking.
    Or worse… not serious about life.

    .

    But whenever I’m stuck
    really stuck
    overthinking something that didn’t even need this much attention…

    .

    I go to someone.

    .

    Not older.
    Not more experienced.
    Definitely not more “qualified.”

    .

    But somehow…
    far more sorted.

    .

    It’s…

    .

    my kids.

    .

    Yes. Those kids.

    The ones who shout my name
    from another room
    while standing right next to the thing they need.

    .

    But also the same ones
    who look at me calm, unbothered
    and say,

    “Why are you thinking so much?
    Just play with us 🙂”

    .

    And suddenly…
    all my overthinking feels a little embarrassing.

    .

    I’m out here turning one small thought
    into a full series
    episodes, flashbacks, alternate endings…

    .

    And they?
    They don’t even watch trailers.

    .

    I lose something panic.
    They lose something
    “It’s okay, we’ll find it.”

    .

    I hold on to things.
    They move on from things.

    .

    I create scenarios.
    They create moments.

    .

    They fight like it’s the end of the world
    and then 5 minutes later,
    they’re sharing snacks like nothing happened.

    .

    Meanwhile, I’m still mentally replying
    to conversations that are already over.

    .

    And the funniest part?

    .

    They don’t even know
    they’re giving advice.

    .

    No big words.
    No deep quotes.

    .

    Just one line
    perfect timing
    and my entire overthinking collapses.

    .

    So yes,
    my advisors are tiny, loud,
    always hungry,
    and occasionally covered in chocolate.

    .

    Strange, isn’t it
    they still need help finding their shoes…
    but somehow,
    they’ve already found a way
    to live life better than me.     💣😄✨

    .

    .

    They don’t know it… but they fix everything. 💛

  • Unfair Levels of Love♥️✨

    Unfair Levels of Love♥️✨

    Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

    .

    Some people talk about “acts of kindness” like they’re rare, once-in-a-while events.

    .

    In my case… it’s almost a daily subscription plan 😄

    .

    My family has this slightly annoying habit of loving me too much.

    .

    Like… they’ll adjust plans, change schedules, and quietly make space for me—without ever announcing it like some grand sacrifice.

    .

    They don’t say “we’re doing this for you.”

    .

    They just do it… and pretend it’s normal.

    .

    They make sure I don’t feel discomfort, even before I realize I might.

    .

    They stand by me like it’s the most natural thing in the world—no conditions, no drama, no scoreboard.

    .

    Honestly, it’s a little unfair.

    .

    Because how am I supposed to match this level of love? 😌

    .

    But if there’s one thing they’ve given me, it’s this quiet certainty

    .

    that no matter what happens outside,

    .

    there’s always a place where I’m held with more care than I probably deserve… and definitely more than I can ever explain.

    .

    And yes… I complain about them sometimes.🫣

    .

    But let’s be real😍

    .

    life without them would be way less dramatic… and way less beautiful 💛

    Where love needs no words… just presence 💛
