"Can you sit with me for landing?" the little girl asked me with a hopeful expression on her face.
It was an innocent and simple request, but yet it touched my heart and put a genuine smile on my face. The 2 1/2 flight flight delay out of London gave me a rare opportunity to buddy up with some kids on ground. It amazes me how bright and observant children can be. My colleagye and I were surrounded and we had to answer a barrage of inquisitive questions from them. It struck me that I could actually have a conversation which I enjoy! It was nice to reminisce about my childhood and talk the toys and cartoons that I used to like.
When I want to shut myself away from the world for a bit, I do the solitary things that make me happy. Music, running, reading and a recent hobby I particularly love, comforts me. I do like good company but sometimes, it is just nice to be alone, which is what I want for now.
This was supposed to be an unhappy post, but as I was gathering all my angry thoughts into one big furyball for venting, I was interrupted. Unexpected and happy interruptions I must say.=) So now... I guess I kinda forgot why I was pissed off. Still, a number of people have been irritating the shit out of me over the past 2 weeks but right now, they can just talk to the hand coz they don't matter. Some friends have really disappointed me but I will get over it.
On a much brighter note, my prayers have been answered... It is a gesture of kindness beyond what I had hoped for. I keep my fingers crossed that all will go well.
Ahh, she's so sweet.
ReplyDeleteLittle kids always have their own ways in finding sweet spot in our heart at the most unexpected time.
It's very nice.
