That little girl is me. A long time ago.
That smile didn't know yet what life had planned. The miracles. The heartbreaks. The long way from there to here.
But she knew one thing I sometimes forget:
How to simply be.
Today, International Children's Day, I want to honor not just the children around us — but the child within us. The part of us that hasn't been dimmed by disappointment, hardened by experience, or silenced by what the world decided we should be.
That part of you is not lost. It's just waiting for you to come back to it.
Happy Children's Day to every adult brave enough to remember.
