Reading 2
A teenager around 17 years old with a big belly sits in front of me. Before her smiling eyes, I see her big round belly. Obviously her baby is counting down to be born or rather it is the mother who is counting down days to have her baby, I can't decide which. I can see she's having difficult time to breath. To breath for one is already a pain in this world, I just can't imagine what she's been going through! I am startled to see her never-ending smiles. I can't understand. I just can't understand. She's just a child, yet carrying another child in her belly. I give up. Another teenager at her age sends big smiles in distance. That must be the father. I see their smiling eyes, I see how much in love they are. They begin taking their pictures with their mobile phone. Well thought. It's a moment to remember. All my negative thoughts dissapear. Just hope their family game doesn't end like their first sexual experience: A disaster.

hello :)
Thanks for dropping some lines in my blog.
As I had the chance to read, you're a very active blogger. Your writtings are of interest as love and passion mix with different feelings and the mystery of your person arises at each new post.
I wonder where this foreigner condition brings you from...
Jumping to the content of this particular post: why or how do you reach the conclusion of disaster?
regards,
Nuno
Thanks for your kind words, Nuno.
Regarding your question, I never draw conclusions especially for the situations I can't understand. In this case, the situation itself brought the inevitable consequence: A disaster. To become pregnant when you're only a secondary school student MUST be a disaster or am I thinking wrong?
Love,
Eda
I want to believe that you are thinking wrong. That's my starting point.
Why?
Cause although you claim the opposite, you're drawing conclusions from something you don't fully know. And you choose the worst one...
Why can't things go the right way instead? Why it all will have to fall apart?
Couldn't this situation ever work?
Is this world as grey as they all want to paint it?
I want to the believe it's not.
I'd would be happy if you could believe it too, just a little bit.
best regards,
Nuno :)
I hope I am wrong, Nuno, but when I put myself into shoes of that teenager the world doesn't appear so colorful. And why? Because, imagine you had one of your first sexual experience and later found out that you were pregnant (I said, imagine!:) ). You're a high school student, with no money, dependent on parents, you would like to have future by going to a university and furthermore you live in a country where abortion isn't legal and where there is no good welfare system. To put it in a nutshell, you have no conditions for a new being.
How would you feel?
Here comes the challenge, would you be able to paint a colorful picture of the situation? If yes, I would like to read.
I concede.
This world is not a fairy tale.
Nevertheless you saw the smiles in their faces not me.
They are kids and they don't know what's coming. But we are not kids and neither we know.
One thing I'm sure is that some people can be very happy while they're here. I will be cheering for both of them to have and to become supporting and loving parents.
I'm a believer.
take good care
Nuno :)
By referring to the smiles on their faces, telling that all my negative thoughts disappear and wishing good things about them, don't you think I'm trying to show something positive in them?
As the title of the post suggests, I am merely reading people through the clues they present.
I think it's now your turn to be read, tell me if you already are a father :)
Yes, you are but you end with a disaster. It's a much too negative image to be overlaped.
If you want to read me you can always try my blog :p though it can't state for me accurately...
But no I'm not a father and I can't stand my claims in certainties.
I solely read the clues in my way. Many times I'm wrong but from time to time I hit the target.
What about you, do you have good aiming skills?
see ya,
Nuno :)
Be fair, Nuno. If all our sexual experiences ended up with a baby, this would be more than disaster!
You know it's like reading so many books. When you read so many books, after a while there is no original story yet still a charm in it. Reading so many people is the same. You may think everyone more or less has a similar story, but in the end you get perplexed to find out how unique each story is. In this sense, I can be quite certain of the clues I read, but not their entire story.
And, yes, I will visit your site more often. :)
That's right. Everything is unique.
That's why I am not so up to generalizations.
Sadly not trusting in general statements always brings a feeling of ignorance...
Anyway, I'm still to decide what's best. Whether to be ignorant without an opinion or making a general argument the support of our positions towards something...
But now is not the time for discussions anymore, even if they're pacific :D.
Merry Christmas!
Nuno :)
Okay. Peace, Nuno. :)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
