Pia loves butterflies. “Fa-fa-fly,” she used to call them. Now she says “Butta-lie.”

Kids.
They’re fascinated by almost everything in their environment. From
things that fly to things that crawl (she’s still afraid of
cockroaches), to things that go beep-beep.

A curious and
imaginative mind begets the magic of child-like innocence. Somehow as
we grow up, we lose this to the worries and the stress that life’s
realities bring about.

But then again, I get to think that the
realities of life are the distractions. And what’s important is for us
to grow still deeper into that state of childlike innocence, remaining
curious and imaginative. In the end, we get to be more creative and
somehow, along the way, get past our struggles and discover better
solutions to the problems that we face.

Reality, after all, is only as good as what you make of it.
