After meet my newborn cousin today and being 17, I've suddenly created a new view on us: as people. As my cousin (the baby's mom had said) its crazy to realize just days before he was a part of her, kicking her stomach at the booms of the fireworks on the 4th of July and when ever he felt active. Now this little life is in the world and its so magnificent that he started at this little tiny mush of genes and cells and turned into the dark haired, adorable little boy I held today. How we, as females, are able to create and help grow someone who will change the world in some way. We sense change daily but I really noticed it today sitting in my cousin's house that she rents with her boyfriend at only 18, but the maturity of a 30 year old. It's funny being only about a year apart growing up playing with brat dolls and her even doing my makeup since I looked up to her so much. She's now a mom and gets to pass on her life experiences to her son as he grows, some experiences I've even helped create. It was beautiful seeing him look up at me and just watch me, listen to my voice as I soothed him as he realized I wasn't his mom, knowing I'll get to help him grow up and watch him go through steps of his life that not everyone will get to see. My cousin and her boyfriend made a beautiful baby boy and I can't wait to see how he changes the world. I can't wait to be able to be in her shoes, holding my newborn son or daughter (not for years to come) and knowing I helped change the world in their future.
