don’t want my child to carry what I carry, to feel what I feel. I want Zu to be free. And the only way to be free is to set them free. ‘Go on,’ I say. ‘Go on and be,’ and I make the space for them to be. That means moving my own shit—baggage, fears, worries—out of their way. Our children won’t be like us, they will be better. So we can’t put our insecurities on them. Space and time. For you and for them.”
