I have a wild daughter.
She laughs louder than life, runs faster than my patience can sometimes keep up, and feels everything with a heart too big for her tiny body.
She doesn't tiptoe into rooms. She bursts forth like sunlight.
She doesn't hold back her love. She gives it all away, without hesitation.
And honestly, some days I feel like I'm trying to keep up.
Trying to meet her in the storm without dimming her light.
Trying to hold space for the fierceness that makes her exactly who she is.
One day, she's going to move mountains.
But today, I'll be here. Holding her hand, soaking in her wildness, and reminding myself that it's not too much.
She is just enough.
Even on the hard days. Especially on the hard days. I wouldn't trade her for the world.
It's like you are talking about my 5-year old (son).
I cultivated the wildness, and I love what he has become, even if he tests my patience, every day, day after day~~

How lovely to read this. The subject of patience is another matter, haha.

Our daughters always sound so similar.

I'm very sure they can be good friends because their personalities are so similar.

Thank you for sharing this. You took me straight back in time... Remembering my son at that stage makes me smile. He's almost 10 now, and although that whirlwind of wild energy is behind him, I still hold those chaotic, intense, and loving days close to my heart.

I'm so glad you treasure those moments.

May be, she should read Alice in wonderlands :)

Yes! It's definitely a book I want to buy.

That's 100% exhausting. How did you do it?

This is so beautiful. I feel this deeply. Raising a wild daughter is like trying to hold the wind in your hands โ€” impossible, but so full of magic. Some days itโ€™s chaos, some days itโ€™s wonder, but every day itโ€™s a gift. Her wildness is her superpower. Youโ€™re doing sacred work by protecting that fire instead of trying to tame it. Keep going. ๐Ÿ’›
