This blog makes me rage so hard.
Do none of these people remember childhood? Your ability to control your child’s interests doesn’t change because what you want them to like is ~cool~.
This has been my upbringing. The replaced words, not the crossed out things. And I am so glad that to date my parents have always been about putting perspective on direction and not instructions on guidance. I’m very lucky to have had them and to still have them support me.
I don’t plan to have children. I don’t even know if I’d want to adopt children. But if I ever decide to take on the responsibility of parenthood, I will try to remember that my role is to be there to take care of the bruises, because life is hard and you can’t keep children in the bubble of your expectations.

Sometimes you can’t appreciate the difference until you get your heart handed back to you. And, unfortunately, we can’t always help who we love or when we fall in love them and when we stop. But thankfully like and love don’t run in only one direction, and they’re not mutually exclusive either. ♥
Always. This, always. Curiosity implies caring. Always want to learn about a person. But judging will forever say far more about you than about the other person.
