something i learned from a 5 year old

today
i was at my dad's friend's house
and i was with their 5 year old daughter
she was showing me the pictures she drew in drawing class

"that's the chocolate waterfall....and that's the apple car and the waffle sun.....there's also the penguin city"

and i asked her if she thought of this all by herself and she said yes

i was absolutely stunned that she thought of it all by herself
and i was even more stunned by the fact that i was stunned about the mediocre picture(i have to admit, it wasn't that good)

she had imagination
she could think of watever she want
though when i used to hear spongebob saying "EEE-MMA-JIN-ATION" i thought that that was one of the cheesiest thing i have ever heard
i now look at it at a different perspective

then i looked at myself
older than the 5 year old
and her imagination more alive then mines will probably ever be

i finally realize the importance of imagination
my imagination is already slowly going by
it was like trying to hold water in your hands
no matter how much you try, everything just all trickles out
