Birth and Purpose

Little Zoe,

This blog is an account of your life until your memory kicks in, so you satisfy your curiosity about your beginning. It's also for your family that lives away, so they can follow your growth.

I wondered if there were evolutionary reasons why we forget early memories, and whether I'd be doing harm by enabling you to know your beginning. On the other hand, I thought of the capacity of mankind to come up with crazy theories of origin in absence of facts, and decided to move forward.

Now that I've set the purpose of this blog, let me try to set your purpose: You are here to entertain us. Given the amount of poopy diapers, random cries, and sleepless nights, it might be hard to believe that you can fulfill this purpose. Your incredible cuteness, funny facial expressions, struggles with invisible forces, watching you fall asleep, and waiting for you to open your eyes compensate for all. Your other purposes are to help us get out of ourselves and create something wonderful that surpasses us both, to walk us through the life stages rather than repeat the days, and give us a sense of purpose and fulfillment as you develop a mind of your own.

Your purpose for yourself is to become the best you can be, with and against our guidance, and to get over our mistakes, and move on to be happy.

Kisssss
Mommy.
