hi
all.
today
I
realized
something.
I
was
in
the
park
and
I
saw
a
little
girl
who
followed
her
father
(I
guess).
I
just
thought
of
how
absurd
it
would
be
for
anyone
to
say
to
her
or
think
about
her
that
"what,
can't
you
talk
properly??"
or
"you
dropped
that!"
or
"you've
got
to
run
faster"
or
"can't
you
for
once
draw
something
that
looks
nice??"
It's
like,
anything
she
does
or
tries
to
do,
her
parents
are
so
proud
of
her.
They
will
smile
at
her,
and
encourage
her.
Even
if
she
"fails"
at
something,
like
trying
to
catch
a
ball
and
not
being
able
to,
or
trying
to
walk
and
falling.
We're
just
happy
that
kids
try
to
do
things.
It
doesn't
matter
if
they
"fail".
It
doesn't
matter
that
they
can't
do
a
lot
of
things.
We're
just
happy
about
the
things
that
they
can
do.
And
proud
of
them.
And
love
them
to
bits.
They're
our
treasures
and
our
most
prescious
gift
in
life.
I
was
just
thinking
that
perhaps
it
is
somehow
absurd
of
us
(as
adults)
to
think
that
we
can
go
through
life
without
failing,
falling,
tripping,
breaking
stuff,
losing
something,
and
so
on.
sh*t
happens.
To
everyone.
Sometimes
it
may
even
be
our
fault.
But
that's
life.
We
live
and
learn
and
we
fail.
We
don't
always
succeed.
We
aren't
perfect.
We
don't
have
perfect
skin
or
perfect
hair
or
perfect
clothes.
None
of
us.
It's
an
illusion
to
think
that
we'll
always
cope
with
life.
But
not
coping
is
okay.
It
makes
us
human.
We
have
to
be
honest
about
things.
We
have
to
stop
pretending
and
live
for
real.
I
also
saw
a
couple
of
adults
who
were
playing
tennis,
or
sort
of.
They
were
playing
with
a
tennis
ball
and
two
rackets,
but
just
on
the
grass,
not
in
a
tennis
court.
And
there
was
no
net,
and
the
distance
between
them
was
much
shorter
than
in
real
tennis.
But
that's
okay.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
"perfect."
It's
real.
In
the
Olympic
Games
there's
this
Swedish
wonderful
woman
who's
been
like
the
big
gold
hope
for
Sweden.
She
came
eigth.
That's
okay.
Loads
of
people
who
are
sitting
at
home
in
their
comfy
sofas
might
think
that
'it's
really
bad,
she
should
have
taken
the
gold'.
But
that's
just
being
hypocritical.
Life
doesn't
work
like
that.
Most
people
don't
win
gold.
They
are
still
okay!
They
don't
have
to
be
best.
I
may
not
be
best.
But
that's
okay.
I'm
real.
