Glad to be young
I was two years old when Papa left us for another woman. But despite my very tender age, I can still recall the scene during that day… the scene but I could not recall any feeling of sadness, anger or worry. That’s the beauty of being young and innocent…. we are spared from feeling sad, worried and angry. I just realized it today, how difficult if feels when you are left and abandoned by your partner. After hearing from a friend that her partner of 10 years left her for another woman, I felt a heavy pounding in my chest. I am just a receiver of the news but I felt sad and it made me wonder, why did this happen? And it has affected my mood, the day I heard the news. I could not concentrate on writing my term paper. It somehow ruined my day….why…I do not know. If this has been my reaction to the news….surely the person involved is feeling worser than I do. And I realized that had I been older when Papa left us, maybe, I will feel the same. Glad our case was over when I was younger. I was spared from a great deal of sadness and anxiety trying to comprehend why he left us. If only we could remain young and innocent forever….there would be no feeling of sadness, worry, anger and anxiety….
