Hello, my dear!
One boring day, I had to do a boring job: sitting among pregnant women, letting them cram my head with information about formula and diapers. And I suddenly realized how strangely similar they were.
These people are not the same age, not from the same hometown, not from the same background. In short, they are completely different! They only have one thing in common: a mixed feeling of anxiety and joy, anticipation and sadness. What brings these parallel lines together is not some law or axiom, but children!

Children! They say that when you make someone smile, you've done something miraculous. Children have a truly special power. They bring you not only smiles, but sometimes anxiety and even tears. They can make your life wonderful, but they can also turn your life into... a mess.
But who wouldn't want a child? It would be ridiculous to say you don't like children, and it would be absurd to say you don't want one!
That's right, the power of children isn't their ability to do miracles, but their ability to transform themselves into the most miraculous things that no one can refuse!
At this point, I suddenly realized that we are all miracles, or at least we once were? If in life you ever feel hopeless, as if everyone has abandoned you, hold on to your faith; to someone, you are always the most special, the most wonderful person.
Believing in the wonder within ourselves means saying thank you to those who gave us life, those who gave us our physical form, created us with love, and nurtured us with their sweat and tears.
When life's cycle of reincarnation begins, when the starting point and the ending point coincide, that's when we discover our own wonder. Just as our parents found us from the depths of their love. At that moment, let's say to our child the words we once heard when we first opened our eyes to life: "Hello, my dear!"
