you know what i love? a lot of us didn& #39;t really grow up in families that were very vocal about their love or emotions and things... so instead of perpetuating that, i see that lots of young parents are trying so hard to raise their little ones differently

this is not to say that our parents& so on didnt do a good job (they did the best they could with what they knew/had) but WE have reached an emotional maturity where we can look back, see how our childhood affected US and our relationships and think "what can i do better?"

we& #39;re collectively& consciously making the effort to raise children that won& #39;t have to heal from whatever traumas we may have been exposed to and we& #39;re making sure they will feel comfortable COMMUNICATING with us... we ARE progressing in that sense. i see it. and i love it.
