Isn’t
it a bittersweet situation, how we leave the accommodating environment of
amniotic fluid to be ushered into this world? On one side, as babies in the
uterus we love this home, because all we have to do is occupy space and
everything we need is provided. No shedding of tears, no hunger, and no
bacteria to colonise parts of our bodies. On the other side, we’re phased with
a desire for an adventure into what the world outside the womb has to offer us.
All the tender love and care; the quest to use our lungs for breathing fresh
air; the craving to use our taste buds to munch on delicious meals, and the pursuit of happiness.
