Growing up, my mom had classic Christmas episodes from Nick at Nite taped on VHS. Watching these compilations on YouTube takes me back to those childhood holidays.

😃Disney Channel was at its peak, I couldn’t wait to grow up and have a husband. I discovered the internet and fell in love with it — and then came my first experiences with grooming. Summer was gentle and full of life; I went rollerblading every day. Christmas had that distinct smell of tinsel you hang on Christmas trees — a very specific kind of plastic — and once, it snowed so hard the schoolyard was completely covered. We built a maze in the snow, and the walls were taller than us. I had a portable CD player that was basically my best friend, I had beautiful dresses that I loved like I love my best friends, I dreamed of being one of the Totally Spies, and I quoted SpongeBob way too often

👦I’m not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But it’s pretty extreme when people say they ”hate kids” and I often feel it’s a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids “should be.” That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
It’s fucking hard to be a kid. You’re dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. It’s confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when they‘re brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe that’s the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.
