G in a Jar.

Listen. A healthy relationship isn’t living vicariously through one another. True love isn’t someone being there at your side every moment of every day, but being free, and encouraged, to pursue your own passions, and then sharing in the spoils of your triumphs together.

I’m looking forward to being a parent, and allowing my child to live freely with no intentions of clipping their wings. I can’t wait to encourage their creativity, even if that means us taking regular trips to the arts and crafts store for our weekly supply of paint brushes and paper, or laughing hysterically at their “jokes” or paying full attention to their stories whilst asking questions just to see how far their imagination can stretch, or staying up late until they perfect their skills on their favourite instrument on the weekends. Being able to sit back and watch someone you created create must truly be such an amazing feeling.

The only two important things in life are real love and being at peace with yourself.

May the space between where I am and where I want to be inspire me.
