A letter to my unborn child

My dearest

The realization that you will never come to be suddenly sunk in to me today at the workshop with TLC (The Learning Connections – an arts education corporate agency with its main focus on pre-schoolers. I worked part-time at after SOTA, before NLS).

I can only imagine how it would feel like to have the intimacy of having you inside me, sharing my body with me. We could be having telepathic communications and long conversations through the beating of our hearts next to each other. That’s what I hear mothers have with their children inside them.

I am so sorry I cannot make it possible for you to come into existence because of my genes, I’ve always thought I will never want to be a mother anyway so it does not really matter that I would never have kids. I really believed it was no biggie. I had my niece and nephew (and all my friends’ kids) to play with anyway. And the best thing is, they’d all return to their parents eventually and I don’t even have to worry about being responsible for another human being/soul. But I realized it could be my defense mechanism talking. It was probably the best I can muster to cope with this repercussion of the genetic defect.

People tell me how good I am with their children and I wish I could prove to be good with you too.

I just want to let you know that even though you would never be, my thoughts are with you and you are loved, so much that I will never ever allow you to go through what your mommy would have to go through.

NOW

I’m happy to declare God’s goodness and glorify Him with the most unique life He has blessed me with. While the society in this world sees success as being married and having kids, excelling in a career that allows for the possession of a fast car plus a fancy condominium, I know that that’s not His plan for me.

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you (GOD)

And I'm longing, for words to describe how I'm feeling
I'm feeling inspired
My world just flipped, turned upside down
It turns around, say what's that sound
It's my heart beat, it's getting much louder
My heart beat, is stronger than ever
I'm feeling so alive, I'm feeling so alive
