That moment/You can find something truly important in an ordinary minute

Mateo, he was the gift of God, complained that his good looks and recognition meant that he couldn’t live the life he wanted. He wanted to be ordinary again. I recognised that dark mood and told him that at that moment he looked nothing special. He asked me what I meant. I said that his hair was a mess, that he needed to shave, and should take a shower. Stay like that and come with me to the supermercado and not one person will look twice. Mateo said it was the nicest thing anybody had ever said to him.
