Babies

It’s a shame that I’m not a poet, because otherwise I’d be endlessly writing about the beauty of babies and motherhood.

My tiny person, snuggled against my chest, as soft as an angel.

Even though this is my sixth baby, I’m still thoroughly amazed that something so beautiful came from me. This is what gives my life meaning.

One of the reasons why I withdrew from socializing was because I know that other people don’t experience the newborn phase in the same way that I do. My reality is full of sacred moments spent loving and caring for another human being, understanding the helplessness of babies and guiding them through the beginning of their lives. I can’t imagine anything being more important.

But those normal people, on the other hand …

They’re just sour about everything.

That’s why I don’t talk to them anymore.
