Sometimes I wonder if dressing her is just dressing my ache in softer cotton. Her bibs remind me of bridal gowns I never wore—tiny pieces of a future I thought would arrive differently. Her socks, folded with care, feel like the apologies I never knew how to voice.
I nurse with music playing—not for her peace, but to cover the silence I still haven’t made peace with. And when she starts teething, I pause. Is her discomfort just a mirror of my own controlled grief?
I record her first steps like a sacred ritual. But sometimes I ask myself—am I filming her for memory, or to feel a little more immortal?

I buy her toys with the same frenzy I once bought lingerie. Not out of need—but out of hunger I forgot how to name. Her crib feels like a confession booth. When I shush her, I wonder—am I silencing her cries or my own?
I panic when she sleeps through the night, as if her silence reveals mine too clearly. Do I nap when she blinks—not from exhaustion, but to avoid the heaviness of my own breath?

When I cry folding her socks, it isn’t the fabric that stings. It’s the reminder of the girlhood I never fully lived. I bring her scribbled drawings to therapy and wonder if my therapist sees my childhood hiding in her brushstrokes.
Sometimes I ask—am I parenting to heal, or to perform healing? Her tantrums echo like my own inner child, but dressed in better labels. I swaddle her in silk. But does she feel that as love—or as pressure she doesn’t have words for yet?

I style her nursery like a curated gallery. I caption her space like a brand’s vision board. Do the hanging mobiles reflect her growth—or my inner tension? I perfume her pillow not just for sleep—but to re-scent innocence I’m still chasing.
I psychoanalyze lullabies. I wear mascara to therapy like I’m auditioning for approval. Sometimes I sit prettier while crying—just in case breakdowns require a pose.
Am I confessing to my therapist?
Or performing for her response?

Motherhood is sacred. But some days, it’s also a stage.
Some days I love her fiercely.
Some days I miss the version of me that never had to hold so much.
And I wonder… should I say that out loud, or write it here—
where no one interrupts the silence?Referenced AI Datasets
