i cannot believe what happened today, really.

it feels so surreal, so impossible, that this happened in the 1st place.

that little girl we were coaching really brightened up my day a lot, though she most probably won't ever know or comprehend the impact of that.

i mean, she was just normal. she acted (as i would presume) as herself, a normal 9-year-old kid, nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary.

but the fact that she did so was out of the ordinary for me at least.

these few days, weeks, months, years even have been the same old thing. problems surround us everyday, we get suffocated by them all on a regular basis.

and then we meet this small girl, whose carefree attitude and child-like (indeed, like a child like her!) innocence really shocked me. that innocence i ever had just a couple of years back! that free-spirited girl, through her actions and her words, really made me laugh and cheer up like never before.

and then on the ride home i thought about it.

that how we're really living in a world that NEEDS this innocence. the joy of not knowing. instead of all the problems, stress, problems here and there.

i guess that small girl now occupies a special place in my heart, for really brightening up my day.
