I spent nine and a half months in my mommy's tummy or "child palace" in my mommy's language. It was warm and dark. I didn't have to think and see, and food was always available. Whenever I felt alone and sad I would listen to my mommy's heart beat, the best smoothing music in the world. I always thought that I would stay in my palace forever.Suddenly the thought of "going out and seeing the world" popped up from nowhere, then boom! I was outside my palace and was held by an alien in green. The world outside was cold, bright and noisy. I saw a lot of aliens moving back and forth. What were those aliens? What were those noises? What was going on? I missed the darkness. I missed the heartbeat. "I want to go back to my palace" I cried but the alien in green refused to put me back in. I w
as angry and upset at myself. I screamed "Why go out?". Then the green alien put me into someone's arm. When she was holding me I could feel her heartbeat and I knew instantly that she was my mommy. I looked at her eyes and stopped crying. In the moment of quiet I realized I was no longer alone in this strange place. I knew my mommy will always be by my side, holding me and giving me a big smile just like her heartbeat. For her, I am willing to give up my nice and warm palace.
