We’re born naked into the world with no means of protecting ourselves.
We start life inherently trusting the first people whose touch we feel.
Faces mean nothing, words are gibberish, but the tone soothes all our ills.
We cry, we piss, we eat, we shit, our smile our only weapon.
Life moves on.
We learn words slowly and ask why as often as we can.
Our protectors become our teachers. They show us the exciting side of the world, fresh experiences in our eyes.
Life moves on.
We’re exposed to little things we don’t understand, again inherently trusting the people we’ve known all our lives to steer us in the right direction.
