To the pregnant future...
I just heard that the wife of a friend of the friends of my brother had an ectopic pregnancy and had to remove the baby by C-section when it was already 7-months old. It either died on its own upon removal from the womb, or the doctors had to kill it with a club or something. Also, Daphne from my class in secondary school gave birth last month to a fussy baby boy, who was ironically named as Declan, which means "full of goodness". My other classmate is pregnant with a girl, the second one after her son KY. A girl in TW, who got married while I was there, divulged news of her 3-months pregnancy, which I've heard about last month from another friend. It was supposed to be a secret until the first trimester is over. My cousin in Singapore just had a C-section and out came her baby boy, Timothy Ethan Chong, who will most likely be sent back to Indonesia where his mom's (my cousin) parents will take care of him while his dad's parents pins and never get their hands on their grandson. Whoopie. There is one more baby that should be born in Scorpio time to another one of my cousin (guy) in Indonesia. Jujube, my friend's brainchild, was born the other day. Life is bursting all about. Possibilities abound. Death is mourned within bounds of future hope. Who or what are you giving birth to these days? Goodwill? Negativity? Love & Peace? Desperation? Life & Inspiration? Grief or Regret? Determination?

Whatever it is, take responsibility for it and own it as the fruit of your loins. Embrace it and all of its consequences. It's a matter of loving and respecting yourself. Do it well.
