“The matches glowed with a light that was brighter than the noon-day, and her grandmother had never appeared so large or so beautiful. She took the little girl in her arms, and they both flew upwards in brightness and joy far above the earth, where there was neither cold nor hunger nor pain.”

What’s your vision of happiness – a place where you used to be or a place where you wish to be?

“The right answer – a place where I am now!” – affirms my sister. Unfortunately, choosing right isn’t always right as it might push you into the river of lies.

To me, H. Ch. Andersen’s “The Little Match Girl” reveals the power of NOT being here and now in the dark moments of life, when the only change you can make is your attitude.
