My little one.

You're already so strong. It's almost terrifying to think that one day you'll be walking this earth, breathing its air, seeing it in its sublime creation. Oh my little adventurer, I want so badly to prepare the world for you. To protect you from all the sharp edges and hurtful words. But, as you'll soon come to learn, that is impossible for us humans to do. I cannot change this world for you, even though I've cried myself to sleep at night wishing I could. Being a mother is such an honor, and yet carries so much weight. But all of that weight that I feel already being placed on my shoulders is just a demonstration of how much you are already loved. I know that you have already felt my worries and fears. I know that you have already been with me as I cried. I wish I could be stronger for you. But maybe I can be softer for you. There will be times where you fall hard, and though I can't be everything for you, I hope that I can be that soft landing you need.

Be patient with me, little one. This is also my first time.
