Little Sunshine

To be perfectly honest, I'm in the worst slum in my life right now. I've been constantly depressed in the worst way since last two year, but I tried to hold it in, because people say that time will heal thing.

So I hang on to it, hoping that this odd lingering mixture of negativity will leave me in peace one day. Sometimes it does.

          I loved taking care of children despite not looking like it. I meant taking care, not the occasional playing and taking pictures etc. I loved it when my aunt sent my little cousins to my house on their school holiday. They were naughty, annoying and bleed my purse dry, but I didn't hate taking care of them.

          I also loved the time I spent teaching kids how to read during one of the most laid-back semester in college. I loved when my other aunt sent her grandson over too.

          I wouldn't say that I love kids so so much since I don't squeal at the sight of kids and babies. I don't always forgive them when they're being a nuisance. Sometimes I do think it's best to just leave them crying then entertain their unnecessary wants.

          But when parents sent their children over and said, "I'll be leaving them in your care", I look forward to it. At that moment, all my worries just disappears.

Exactly as Shutaro felt.
         In a way, that short trip to my sister in Australia also helped me somewhat. No wonder babies are little bundle of joy.
