Heffalump

How is it that we have destroyed so many minds of adults that they still have to recover from childhood. I'm aggravated because my room mate is going to have a baby soon and when I hear that I want them to have the best childhood that anybody can possibly give it.

I want to tell it everything is okay and learn how to deal with things in a healthy manner. I don't want it to grow up like us where we grew up sheltering our insecurities which would later dictate how we live our lives with anxieties and feelings we don't understand overwhelming us. 

I don't want you to think that you are incapable. I don't want you to ever feel like you have to hide your feelings and opinions and that bottling it all in is okay. I want to know about your troubles and fears. I don't ever want you to think that the way we deal with things is appropriate.

For the love of god, I don't want anything more but for you to grow up happy. What you do from there is your responsibility but please, I don't want you growing up having terrible memories that devour you at night leaving you crying silently in bed. You are so tiny. I don't know you but I love you and I'm going to protect you with everything I got.
