Yes, I want to be one.

Of the many other things I wanted to become, the thought of being a ninja never fails to tickle my senses. Like seriously.

I am no martial artist. I waive off anything that has to do with that. I cannot be in a combat, so as my presence of mind. I rattle. Stutter badly. I don't like anything physical. Or anything that would probably shove me off.

Despite that, I'd like to think I have Ninjutsu, with emphasis on survival skills.

My world's been quite a buzz since last year and there were times I just wanted to beg the universe to pause for a while just so I can keep up. Marital woes, my son's acquired asthma, my own share of asthma, being burn out at work, in-laws, yes, you heard me, and some other crap I happen to bump into along the way. Them times I just want to turn into my own ninja and spell out some shadow bind jutsu.

Giving birth was probably the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. Being a mom made me realize a lot of things. First, I can take a cut, then the stitches and finally the aftermath of it all, motherhood in its most deceiving sense. I'd like to think I am doing fairly well in this new role. I know I have lapses and miscues, but at the end of the day, all I ever really wanted is for Zachary's best interest. Be that I sounded borderline blunt and acted nerve-wrackingly bratty. Like a ninja protecting territory, all geared up with her kunai and shuriken, I can come against life's combat poker-faced. 

I may lack physical power like that of a ninja, but I'd like to think I bear their intellect. Like a master tactician, their every move is well-thought of, going through it's pro's and con's before engaging to action. And like how I overly analyze things, yes I know that doesn't sound good all the time, it should always be nice to weigh things before acting into them, cautiously effective in all sense.

And like how superpowers were seemingly associated with ninjas, I wish to be there every time for my loved ones. I'd like to be the most able kunoichi there is to battle things out for them or maybe just to plainly ensure them being sound all the days of their lives.

I could be some cranked up ninja like Naruto, but like him, I will always have a heart willing to square it all out when everything else fails.
