Just Show Up

Camilla, you look very nice today. Is there a special occasion you're all dressed up for? 

"No, everything else was dirty.”

What a lovely and unexpected answer. There’s a quiet kind of beauty in showing up exactly as you are. Not polished for a reason, not dressed for an occasion—just present. Like a child’s honest answer, it reminds us that impact doesn’t always come from planning or perfection. Sometimes, beauty happens simply because we arrive, with what we have, just as we are.
