Because I was blessed to be mothered by caring hands from birth, I can come to no other conclusion than that the mum is merely following the intuition that promises her well-being and health for the whole family. Nowadays, when I hear remarks about life from the mouth of a twenty-year-old, I get the impression that they were already born into this world over-smart and independent.
But in life, some things are just shit. It's worth taking a closer look.
