watching my nephews grow up is my favorite thing in life.
they’re so intelligent, and hungry for vital information.
they understand complex subjects with ease.
they rap with me. they laugh with me.
they know how to love perfectly.
they’re rarely wrong.
they are beautiful.
curiosity runs heavy through them.
they want explanations for everything —
and they deserve them.
they’re growing up quickly.
sometimes I think it’s too quickly, then I remember myself at that age.
they love people unconditionally.
they don’t judge.
they are perfectly imperfect.
