“All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.”

Such a simple story, yet somehow it manages to say a lot about growing up, friendship, love, loneliness, and the things we slowly stop noticing as we get older.

Maybe that’s what makes Le Petit Prince work so well.

It looks like a children’s book, but a lot of its lessons probably make more sense once you’re no longer a child.

Somewhere along the way, we become too busy with numbers, responsibilities, plans, and everything we think matters.

Then a little prince comes along and reminds us that maybe we’ve forgotten how to look at things properly.

Sometimes growing up isn’t about leaving childhood behind.

Maybe it’s about remembering which parts of it were worth keeping.
