Metamorphosis

A new kind of me

[itsformeonly]

I found this old writing I did almost five years ago.. though now I have a son.. this applies to him with a few edits like this....

My little one, there will come a day when your father and I will no longer be your world. Right now, we are all you know, and for as much I wish you can remain as little as you are right now, I know one day you will face the obstacles of the larger world. You will come to know there are harsh realities in life, and baby boy, as much I would love to protect you from it all, I can't. But very soon you will learn that mommy will fight for you, any chance she gets. We will talk about the troubles of the world, and you learn to accept and love the differences in the people that you meet, and if you ever feel like there is something different about you, you will embrace it with the strength that your father and I will instill in you. You will always be true to yourself. Mommy knows a thing or two about becoming numb to herself and the world, and with all that I am that will not be the case for you. You learn that silence is deadly, you will learn that I'm going to be the one in your corner always. And whenever you fall in love with another human being, know that everything will be okay, whether there is a happy ending or not to that love story. My baby boy, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you. You are the love of my life, you are what makes my life whole. We will make it through whatever, as long as we are together. You will learn that to every cloud there is a silver lining.

I guess the difference between writing to a hypothetical child, to your child, is... you come to learn you want to prepare them for the things to come, and console them when that time comes... be the teacher and the healer.

I will be needing this for my daughter 💜

My little princess, now that you are not just this hypothetical future daughter, you are here in my arms. I want to keep you innocent forever and ever. I want to cradle you and protect you just like your brother. You my little girl, i will ensure you have every tool you need to survive and be happy in this world. Im learning how to be strong to pass it along to you. My sweet baby girl, we will walk through this life together.

Grief comes in waves, some waves are okay, some will push you around, and some will knock you down and take you under. All we can do is learn how to swim with each one. Grandma, I never thought your loss would feel like a thousand waves all at once. I made the mistake of not reaching out to you because I was afraid if I did when you departed it would hurt like hell. And regardless, it still does. Guilt and grief overtakes my soul now, I should have seeked for you when I could have, not just the couple of times in the year. But I know that when we visited you the love was there. It always was. I loved you from afar, and its my biggest regret now. I've never been good at keeping contact with the people I love. Loving from afar is my specialty. I guess we both did that. You gave me the gift of my father, the gift of knowing that hard work pays off, and that resilience and strength traces back to you. I love you grandma, may you rest in peace as your work here on earth has finally been completed. You touched so many lives and were loved by many, im honored to say im your granddaughter. You took a little piece of me with you. Your departure has taught me things about myself. Ill make due with them in time. I love you abuela. Ill love you forever, like I always have..

I asked god to give me a man who will always love me, so he granted me a son.

Concept: We need to stop neglecting the good things in our lives. Brush off bad things as quickly as we tend to brush off good things. Believe that compliment and remember it. Notice how pretty the moon is. Think about the cute dog you saw. Think of a funny thing your friend said. Overthink it like you’d overthink a bad thing. Don’t let little things ruin your day; let little things make you really happy. You deserve good things and happiness… so let yourself be happy.
