nothingness

staring at darkness
spitting in the eye of adversity
facing nothingness
I walk alone
shadows

The first steps

Yesterday was my nephew's first day at play school. Actually the first day was three days earlier. But the lil guy slept off 5 mins into class (sounds familiar ?!).
My sister tells me its his stress control mechanism. He goes to sleep when the environment seems unfamiliar/hostile and wakes up later, maybe the bad dream will go away.

Yesterday he tried running out back with my sis. Apparently this guy refuses to give in with out a fight. Thankfully he is past his "doubts and distrust" period. He likes the teacher and calls her Jo or Jani as it pleases him. He is friendly with the other kids (roughly his age). My nephew is 2 years and a few months. He is learning new things. All's well.

Almost everybody in the family went through a period of anxiety. Especially my sister.

I don't think I could ever handle all this.
I am also learning. Next time when my inability to manage finances, my marriage or other extreme cases are discussed I will sleep it through.
