Ramblings of my mind : On Children

Listen, I am the first one to be going WHATTT at the title because I’m sure I am not fully ready to understand and fathom whatever I write below, but that’s why it is a rambling no?! Here goes,

Man, for the longest time ever, children have fascinated me. And not like it is easy to raise one, easy to make them into a well-rounded individual who can take on all that the world has to offer. For sure though, if I am ever lucky enough to be a parent, I would love to raise wonderful kids. And I know that is a huge leap of sentence from being fascinated about children to wanting to raise children on my own. You see this comes from a multitude of places. For one, I never had a nice and kind childhood, not blaming my parents in any way because they did the best they could with what best they knew BUT it really was hard for me as a child. Before I even understood how to learn and accept love, I had a younger sister who definitely needed more attention than me at that age but I realize it now, not then right?!?!!

I think these are the reasons why I would love to have children of my own to raise. Especially a girl child. There is just something so amazingly pure about a baby in general but have you seen cute babies in their frocks and just being rays of sunshine?!!! OOOF. Also, having been a man who’s paid attention to how men treat women and have improved myself, I would definitely teach my daughter what the right kind of love looks, and feels like. Would definitely go with her to classes, make sure she gets the best of education, and extra-curricular activities, and all in all, have a loving and caring father to look up to. 

I know, this might seem all too what the hell is this dude on about but yeah dude, I would LOVE to have a baby girl who I can make the most amazing individual in the world. And no, this was not a recent thought, I’ve had it for the longest time. My writing page on Instagram has this post ( https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KkEGLnuAV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==), almost 225 weeks ago, so like yeah, that rambling does happen from time to time, but today felt I could write about it.

Nowadays, with Youtube Shorts being my rage consumption mode, there are so many videos of parents who have babies doing silly stuff and honestly, I do not want to be the one to show every single moment their baby does like this, but damned if i do not live the dream of having a child of my own through these shorts vicariously. So adorable, and I am sure, these memories will be worth it when we look back and stuff. And for this, if I’ve to move mountains, I will. 

What a dream, what a privilege it would be to have a child to call your own, to give them all that you could not have when you were young and watch them be the best version of themselves.

I think this is how our parents would have thought about us too no?!

Leave you with that food for thought.
