A girl, bringing beauty to the world
22/July/2025 in Kraków
Sunday morning at 8am
I left my hotel for a cafe
And the very first thing I saw was
a girl walking on the opposite side of the street
What grabbed my attention was
her hair
Black, highlighted with shiny red
Sharp sunbeam from above made it even more dazzling
Even +20 meters away at my position
its beauty was strikingly apparent
We were walking in the same direction
But
she was on the left side
I was on the right side
Car lanes lay between us
And I was not planning to cross the street
The beauty she was showing was
.......supposed to be.......
one of the fleeting beauties
that we randomly encounter on the street
& that appears to just disappear, and soon be forgotten
But
she crossed the street
And now
she was walking several meters ahead of me
.........in the end,
I talked to her & said to her
how beautifully-coloured her hair was
And we had a light-hearted, spring-breeze-like, nice chat
But before I talked to her
there was a certain fear in me
Fear of
having my morning mood ruined by her
Usually I feel very good in the morning
Morning brings this uplifting energy
It is a gift I only receive once a day
Hence,
I have to be careful not to let "The World" ruin it
"The World" means
"Others" or
"Other living existence"
She was "Others"
She was "Other living existence" that I couldn't predict how it behaves
All I wanted was
to express my impression on the beauty she showed me
& some appreciation to her
However,
not everyone is ready to interact with others
especially who is an apparently foreigner
especially on the street
especially on Sunday morning at 8am
Momentary confusion, slight suspicion, subtly puzzled face before "Oh.......thank you" is enough to ruin my fragile morning mood
I don't want to get it damaged just after my brand-new day started
If it's afternoon, then my mood is usually destroyed 30000 times already, so it doesn't matter
But morning........GOOD VIBES only
I talked to her
Her reaction was almost "perfect"
Her humble attitude & reserved smile brought my pleasant mood even higher
My good mood continued for the rest of the morning, thanks to her
In the middle of this good mood,
I was remembering something about her
While she walked ahead of me,
she frequently glanced at the shops along the street
All shops were still closed
What she tried to see was "herself"
in the reflection of the shop windows
Probably
I found her unconfidence cute
Probably
I found her imperfection approachable
Probably
I even found something of myself in her carefulness
