I've Been Thinking About How, When You're Little, You're Surrounded By Adults Who Adore You, Who You're

I've been thinking about how, when you're little, you're surrounded by adults who adore you, who you're never going to remember.

I don't mean like your parents and stuff, but like — I work in after school care, and I'm forever meeting five and six year olds who seem like the most incredible people on earth. Kids who painstakingly explain the rules of handball, kids who ask me to help them colour in, kids who feel really deeply wounded by a classmate's behaviour, just an endless stream of them.

Or like my friends' kids who I've babysat once or twice. A kid who played with me in a creek, a kid whose mannerisms are etched in my mind. Cousins' babies who I held for a while. Even just stranger's babies in shops who stare at me the way babies do.

One of my best friends has an online friend who's recently had a baby, and he tells me - someone who doesn't know the friend's name even - about that baby having their first bath. Because that's the kind of love and excitement that little children inspire.

None of these children will remember me.

I literally don't have a greater point here, it's just blowing my mind to think about how much love is directed towards people who can't remember any of us. They can maybe, I guess, if everything goes well, remember the feeling of safety that ought to go with that love.

my favorite couple dynamic is friends to lovers to strangers bc it ends in the most brutal way. i love to see how things end. how they meet and start off strong together, friends who know everything about each other in a matter of hours but refuse to address any underlying issues of miscommunication as the relationship develops, bc friends spare each other’s feelings. then everything falls apart bc their perceptions of each other are slowly revealed and ruin things as their partner realizes they were in love with the version of their s/o in their head and not them. the reveal of their perceptions of each other not aligning in reality breaks them apart and makes them strangers, completely foreign to each other despite having known each other for as long as they did. a lesson that communication is key but also that many of their issues couldn’t be prevented due to factors outside their control so it was doomed from the start
