7-year-old: Abbu when you were 7 what did you want to be when you growed up?

Me: An astronaut!

7: So then why aren’t you an astronaut?

Me: Huh?🥺

7: Is it because you’re too scared??

Me: Uhhh maybe?🥺🥺

7: You have to be brave Abbu😊

Me: Ok☹️

7: I can give you a hug & make you brave

M: Ok🥺

I love the clarity with which children think. Their purity cuts through the obstacles and gets straight to the point. May we all always maintain such courage of our convictions. ❤️
