Sweet innocent child

    Just another bright day, Jane went to a field. With the grass under her slippers, cotton candy cloud above her and the wind blowing to her. It was a sunny day but it wasn't scorching hot. She walks further into the end of the field. She saw a young girl with a white top and a red skirt and red suspension over her shoulder around the age of 6 to 7 years old. It remind her of the girl who look like the Dr. Black assistant character. The girl was looking for something. Jane went closer and closer to her. She turned around and with a big smile on her face and ask Jane " Have you seen my butterfly?" Jane told her " I haven't seen any butterfly around this field." Jane proceeds and asks the young girl why she was here? The girl answered " Because I follow a butterfly and why are you here then?"

     Jane was puzzled and she didn't know why she went to the field that day. Deep down in her heart, she knows that she wanted to escape reality just a minute. To breath from the suffocation of her workload. The girl ask Jane to accompany her to a tree. She wanted Jane to sit under a shade of a tree as it was cooler there. Jane quickly follow the girl. The girl ask Jane to sit down and just enjoy the shade.

    Suddenly, a butterfly appear in front of them. " That's the butterfly I followed" said the young girl with the widest smile a girl can have on her face. She ask Jane to look at the butterfly. Jane told the young girl why she was so amazed by such a small butterfly. " Don't you think that the butterfly is unique" said the young girl. "Nope, this kind of butterfly is always appear at my house garden" replied Jane. The young girl ask Jane to hold the butterfly and catch it with the palm. Since there was no harm, Jane did as told. Jane couldn't feel the butterfly. She told the girl that she felt nothing and the girl told her to open her hands. Once she open her hands, the butterfly left. The girl start to look sad and wanted to find the butterfly. Jane got a little pissed off and scold back the girl and said that she shouldn't have ask her to do so.

    After scolding her, Jane quickly find the butterfly. While finding for the butterfly, the girl stop and was amazed by a grasshopper. She looks at the grasshopper and then was so amazed by it. She suddenly said " why can't life be simple. Be happy with simple things. Why must my family always fight?". Upon hearing this, Jane told the girl that don't worry and that the young girl can find her whenever she is sad. Jane promised the girl that she will be there for her as what she saw in that young girl was the younger self of her. She used to be this innocent, pure and joyful. But all those change with the problems in her life. The girl cried and hug Jane tightly. Jane hug her too in return and she cried as she feels that this girl used to be her and she knows the pain of undergoing it. She promised the young girl that they will brave through the cruel world together. The hug was warm and it was so long she had such a hug.

    In reality, Jane and the young girl is one person. They are stuck together. The young girl was a representative of the old Jane. To love herself, Jane must love the inner child in her. This young girl is in Jane she also wants love. All Jane need to do is to understand, listen, never blame or hurt, give good praise and love to the inner child of her to love herself.
