The first time I held my baby into my arms I have become mortal.

I was in an apartament, in Constanta, a city in Romania I went to give birth in, at a private hospital, far away from my own home.

I was with my baby on my lap, this is the only way I knew how to hold him while he slept, to not disturb him, I was sitting like this for hours. I was looking at him and I burst into tears… of happiness, of waaaw… to hold such a perfect being.

At the same time, I realised I was not the youngest in my family anymore, I am not the kid anymore.

I realised I will die, I realized my own parents will die. I realised I won’t be present for him all of his life.

I realised how fast life goes by and that it’s a shame to not live it as it comes from the soul.

This was the first time my view on life shifted.

Three kids later…

And I am thinking how we are all part of the same team. Because we share the same time on Earth. In some years, there will be totally different people than now on this planet. And no one among us now, will still be here.

Next time you are in a crowded space, think about it. It will shock your being.

Maybe it will lead you to have the courage to make your own choices no matter other’s opinions.

Maybe it will make you see others as your unknown friends.

Maybe you’ll be kinder.

Maybe you’ll help more.

And maybe you’ll give up your feeling of superiority.

There is no one better or worse. The only difference between humans, is how each one of us carries his own faiths, convictions, opinions, traumas from this life.

Thoughts? I’m available in the chatbox.
