Today's Parents

And today spells the end of my working stint at the Today's Parents Portraits Event. It was nothing short of a fulfilling experience for a kids' lover like me.

What I gained from this experience:

• Friends. Not a lot of friends because a lot of them are not my kind of friends... But friends nevertheless. I've met many many nice people throughout the past 4 weeks, and it's a great experience despite the bitchiness I had to put up by many others.
• Lots and lots of fun. The amount of kids I've met throughout the past 4 weeks was truly overwhelming. I picked up many and played around with them. Never have I felt more like a kid before.
• Courage. Before this event, I'd never pick up a newborn child without trembling.... But after my 4 weeks at Today's Parents, I can no longer say that I'm afraid of picking up kids.
• Acceptance. Perhaps it's quite pathetic to put it this way, but I truly only find acceptance when I'm amongst kids. The comfort I get from them is more immense than any sort of comfort I've gotten from anyone at all.
• Something I want to do. I know after these 4 weeks, that I truly want to spend more time with children. This time, with the less fortunate. I'll be sourcing for children's home to volunteer in. So do let me know if you do find any children's home that requires weekend volunteers because that's the only time I'm free. ):

And so... This marks the end of my truly fulfilling 4 weeks. I'll have to find more things to do to fulfill my weekends.....

Toodles.
