Elan Gurl

Look at the girl, isn’t her smile so refreshing?
That familiar face,
Filled with expectations,
Of great things about the future,
Without care in the world,
Unburdened,
Undisguised,
Nostalgic.
When she cries, she’s unstoppable. So it is when she laughs. Contagious.
When I’ve seen this picture, I feel like my essential self, the child in me, has been restored.

This smile made my day gay and bright. (Nabulong ko sa sarili ko: “Si Elan talaga, manang-mana sa Tita!”)
