Your kids don’t want five distracted games. They want one where you’re actually in the room.

-
Why peace feels boring
Calm house. Nobody upset. The evening free.

The part of you that asked “why”
In some houses, “why?” was disobedience.

They did their best. It wasn’t enough. Both are true.
You’ve been forced to choose between two lies.

“I had a good childhood” (and why you’re still like this)
Fed. Clothed. A roof, a school, holidays in the summer. No drama anyone would name.

We treat turning eighteen like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
-
Why you can’t remember your childhood
I could give you five scenes from my first thirteen years.
-
You weren’t born with that voice
You have no memory of installing it.
-
Nothing you achieve will ever satisfy it
You climbed the mountain on one leg, with no sleep.
-
Two seconds of “well done,” six months of “but”
Ninety-nine percent. Where did the other one go?
