I’ve been thinking I might have gotten a few things wrong…

Little things like relationships.

Taking small things too seriously.

Not Walking away when every fiber screamed ‘RUN!’

This was my youth.

Not exercising the choice of NO. It’s a great time for me to be a parent. We talk about everything. She comes to me with the politics of her generation and not much has changed really on the schoolgrounds/sandbox except hair color and pronouns.
