thinking out loud.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them. ~ Oscar Wilde
that may explain this interim called 'tweens'.
though when i apply that to self, i wonder if i'm still at the judgement phase. or maybe just forgiving but hardly forgetting.
hm.
early celebs. least they're smiling here, albeit painfully haha
Jo turns 13 in a week. It's weird seeing myself as a mom of teens. somedays i feel like i'm still a teen myself, that inexplicable distaste for duty and responsibility, that rejection of morally-conservative repression. ironically though, the less i want to grow up, the more they seem to compensate by growing up too fast. my only wish is they'll grow up kind and happy, without me fucking it up too much along the way.
