The Promise We Make to Our Children… and the One I Made to Myself

There was a day not too long ago when my whole family gathered for a wedding.
Kids running everywhere.
Mothers laughing.
Aunties fixing dresses.
Uncles telling stories.
Little ones chasing bubbles, falling, getting back up.

It felt like the world I used to know — the kind where everyone helped everyone.

But standing there, watching all that love in one place, I realized something:

Not every parent has a village.
Some parents raise their babies alone.
Some cry in the bathroom quietly.
Some carry the whole world with no one holding even a single corner.

That’s when something inside me shifted.

Because I’ve always been the kind of person who feels too deeply…I can feel someone’s sadness in their eyes before they say a word.
Helping comes natural to me — not because I’m perfect, but because I know what it feels like to be alone.

And that feeling follows me even in my dreams.

The Dream That Changed Me

One night I had a dream.
A boy stood in front of me — angry, wild, lost.
So angry I felt like I wanted to hurt him.

But in the dream I stopped myself and asked:

“Why am I angry at him? That’s not me.”

So I looked at the boy and said,

“I forgive you.”

And the boy looked at me like he had been waiting his whole life to hear that.
Then he whispered:

“Go… and conquer the world.”

When I woke up, I finally understood.

That boy was me.
All my failures.
All my doubts.
All the times I felt behind.
All the moments I felt like no one saw what I carried.

I wasn’t angry at him…
I was trying to save him.

And the dream was telling me:

You’re more than what people see.
You’re more than your tired days.
You’re more than your mistakes.
Keep going — the world needs your heart.

Just like every tired parent reading this.

Parents Carry the Future, Even When No One Sees It

Science shows that babies feel our emotions before they understand words:

And they feel safer when we feel supported:

Every parent deserves someone who sees them.
Someone who understands the weight they carry quietly.

That’s why I created Babayloom — to give small moments of relief to the parents who hold the whole world.

For Every Parent Who Feels Invisible

I want you to hear this:

You matter.
Your love matters.
Your struggle matters.
Your exhaustion matters.
Your dreams matter.
And your inner child — the boy or girl inside you — sees everything you’re becoming.

When you show love to your baby, you’re healing your younger self too.
When you choose patience, you’re rewriting old pain.
When you keep going even when you’re tired, you’re fulfilling the promise you made long ago.

We are the future.
We are the ones who feel deeply.
We are the ones who care.
And the world sees us.
Even when people don’t.
Even when family doesn’t.
Our dreams see us.
