Hello Hivians! It's the start of another new week. I want to share this for some sober reflection. Welcome to my blog!
A little girl in a soft blue dress, pigtails swinging gently, stands barefoot in white socks on a sunlit wooden floor.She faces an ornate golden mirror,the kind that belongs in an old family home full of stories.Sunlight pours in from the left, bathing everything in warm, golden hues.The room feels quiet and peaceful. Almost sacred.But her reflection isn't young like her. It's an elderly woman with silver hair neatly pinned, gentle wrinkles around kind eyes, wearing the exact same blue dress.She's smiling softly, lovingly,like a grandmother who's lived the whole story.The girl's future self stares right back at her and at us.Elegant lettering overlays the image with a message that hits the soul: “It is only a short trip,enjoy it.” This isn't just art.It's a mirror for every one of us.
How many times do we rush through our days chasing the next goal, the next bill, the next notification,forgetting that the little child we were is still inside us, and the elderly version we will become is already waiting? Time doesn’t ask for permission. It simply moves.One birthday to the next.One “I’ll do it later” to a lifetime of regrets.
This painting captures the most beautiful and terrifying truth of human existence in one frame:
Life is breathtakingly short.The journey from pigtails to silver hair happens in what feels like a single blink.
Yet the message isn’t sad,it’s liberating.It’s a gentle hand on your shoulder saying:Stop postponing joy.
Dance in the kitchen.Call the person you’ve been meaning to call.Take the trip.Forgive faster.Laugh louder.Love harder.
Because one day, the little girl in the mirror will look back and become the wise elder and she’ll ask you, Did you enjoy the short trip?
Hive family, I’m not here to preach. I’m here to reflect with you.What did you feel when you first saw this image?Did it make your chest tighten just a little?
Did it remind you of someone,maybe your own grandma, or the child version of yourself you haven’t visited in years? Drop it in the comments.Tag someone who needs this reminder today.Because in this fast-scrolling world,we all need to pause and remember:The trip is short.The mirror doesn’t lie.
And the time to enjoy it,is right now.What are you waiting for?
Thank you for reading my post. Yours truly,
