what the world needs

i have been there for her since she was born. been there to feed her when she was hungry. change her when she was wet. anticipated her every move and needs. held her hands when she was afraid. hugged her when she wants to be loved. i have tried to be there for her every single moment of the day. and night.

but i couldn't make her laugh. hearing her melodious laughter whilst playing with her cousins now, i realise that i haven't heard it for some time. for as long as the cousins were away on holiday. i've played with her, but i didn't make her laugh. because i have forgotten how to myself. i dislike the adult that i have grown into. i yearn for the child in me. the one that laughed, laughed and laughed. but maybe it is all in my mind. maybe i didn't laugh all that much when i was young either. why are laughters so hard to come by? you know what i need for the new year? more stephen chow movies. i'll even settle for the return of the pink panther. what happened to all the comedies? even the producers are becoming more serious.

what the world needs is more laughter. laughter is the best medicine for everything.
