In Franz Kafkaโs letter to his father, he wrote โI know it is my father's first time on this Earth, too. And I know He had it worse when he was little. But I was little tooโ
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While this quote is commonly attributed to Franz Kafka's letter to his father, it actually originates from internet writer veniennes, who had initially posted it to TikTok in 2023.

I can't believe I'll have a one year old by the end of this month. What I especially can't believe is that I still find myself, in the middle of the night, checking to make sure she's breathing ๐ซฃ๐ญ I think my mother might have been right when she said it doesn't really ever stop

have you ever realised you were the surplus? the one absorbing what should have forced redesign?

you know you're still seeking external validation when:
- you set a boundary and immediately start explaining why it's reasonable
- you make a decision and scan the room to see who noticed
- you advocate for yourself and then soften it with "but I understand your perspective too"
- you enforce a standard and feel guilty when it's inconvenient for someone else
the approval reflex doesn't look like begging. it looks like over-explanation. like making your clarity digestible. like converting your authority into something that can be negotiated.
