Father of your children, at worst.

Father of your children, at worst.

I woke up this morning to 99+ in the little bubble over the app icon of Little Rednote (小红书).

From sounding indifferent to being indifferent

The unspoken langauge of love

A question that echoes across generations — and one I’m still learning to answer.
