my dream isn’t for my son to make me proud. it’s for him to make himself proud.
to walk into rooms i never had the guts to walk into.
to chase the things i talked myself out of.
to speak up when his voice shakes, not just when it’s easy.
to know what he’s worth without waiting for someone else to say it first.
as moms we spend so much time trying to protect our sons from getting hurt.
but i’m not trying to raise a man who plays it safe because he’s scared of getting it wrong.
confident enough to build a life that’s actually his.
that’s it. that’s the whole dream.
