for the first time in my life, i have the gift of consciousness while my parent tries to have a baby with his partners. and like. there's something so very profound about it. there's a person coming! my family! they aren't here yet, and they won't even be on their way for a long time more, but i'm picking up tiny mittens and sewing baby blankets. can you even imagine, being so loved before you even existed? can you imagine holding someone on your lap and telling them that you've loved them since before they were even born, before they were even them, and their genetics rolled the dice? it's so incredibly immense and i can't wait to watch them become.
