For a Little While
Childhood has a remarkable way of transforming ordinary places into extraordinary worlds. A fountain becomes a castle courtyard. Sunlight becomes glitter. A simple dress becomes the clothing of royalty.
There comes a time when we trade imagination for certainty, and wonder slowly gives way to practicality. Yet perhaps those early years reveal something we spend the rest of our lives trying to recover—the freedom to delight in what is beautiful without needing to explain it.
For a little while, she wasn't pretending to be a princess.
She simply was.
