and the first step to being a parent is recognizing that your children are their own people, not extensions of you

Sorry, I’m losing it. I’m so hungry. But also all food is disgusting.

A world led by ghouls.

We have to stop thinking that what affects children won’t affect us. It always has and it always will. We could change the whole world—no hyperbole—by truly putting the welfare of children first, with all the considerations of their full human rights.

Bc if we aren’t here….where are we?

The most knock-me-to-my-knees thing about becoming a parent, that I didn’t expect, was how much I suddenly see every person of every age as a baby. A tiny, beautiful, stupid baby who was loved, or wasn’t loved enough, or deserved love they never realized they were missing.
