Have you ever been hanging out with friends drinking a few beers, when someone shares an intimate detail about themselves that just makes you want to cry?

I was with some coworkers a couple weeks ago, and we were talking about a wide variety of topics. Movies, music, religion, education, family, the supernatural, etc. etc. At some point in the evening, someone asked if we believed in magic. One person stated that they didn't believe anything was magic, while another said that everything is magic.

Then one of my coworkers said the following:

"When I was a little kid, I believed in magic. I don't anymore and it makes me sad because I feel like I've lost something special that I can't get back."

It was one of the most tragic statements I've ever heard anyone say.
