Exhausted its 11pm and I’m waiting for the parents to get home so I can get ready for bed and be up at 6:50 am. It’s been a fun evening, one where I smiled, one where I felt in a safe and young environment. I wasn’t afraid to set boundaries and keep them very clear and explaining why was easier because it’s a simple response. Not one where I have to feel guilty or belittled. One where I feel that I will be listened to or at least attempted. I don’t need to explain myself, I just need to explain the rules. She cares and loves me enough to listen. The quiet abyss of love and honesty and that big genuine smile. Your asleep at last little one, I hope your dreams are beautiful and sweet I kiss her forehead goodnight, and head downstairs. This is where I stop to write a note, a quick place to write my thoughts and my journey of tonight. Sweet dreams my princess, my angel hold you tight.
