The Truth Hurts...

My six year old cousin Mika is extremely smart and has an ability to say the right things at the right time. One time we had the most interesting conversation:

Me: Hey Mika..why do you think two people who love each other break up?
Mika: hmm..maybe they don't like each other anymore...or they don't love each other anymore.
Me: Ohhh..you really think so?
then she gave me an innocent look and said..
Mika: I don't know...maybe...let's go play over there!
Me: Ok...

She may not be aware of it but I knew that the little girl who was with me was right in more ways than one. She spoke of truth that most adults like me wouldn't even dare to accept simply because the truth hurts, and it hurts like hell. Then again, I'm the type of person who avoids wallowing in self-pity and pain. I move on and I move on fast..I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing...
