Dear Optimists,
I was never one of the cool kids growing up. But that changed last week.
Not too long ago, I drew a picture for my friend, Mette of the two of us walking hand in hand with humour between us.
She saved the illustration on her phone, so that every time she picked it up she’d see it. It pleased me that I could make her smile with ease without actually being there or doing anything.
Mette works at an after-school centre. One day the children accidently got a hold of her phone and saw the drawing. Mette told me how they went on and on about how cute and adorable the drawing was for several hours minutes.
Finally, I was one of them! I felt like drawing something for each and every one of them. I felt like this:
(Surprisingly, they liked this drawing better!)
I swear. I’m not coming down from that piedestal!
Love,
Nadia.
