What were some of your favorite activities as a kid?
@Hope
Attending school! 🏫🎒
I miss those golden days. 🙁
@trueconfidant123
A very sociable and knowledge-loving girl!
@HealingTalk Aww thank you! 😀
@trueconfidant123
You are welcome!
It seems you kept those central personality traits
@Hope Honestly painting, gaming, and playing outside looking at nature for it's beauty. I was always a kid that loved playing outside and finding new areas to find beauty in, as well as gaming and painting
@PhoenixButterfly97
Painting and children enjoying the beauty of Nature reminds me of the impressionist "plein air " painters
Flowering Meadow - Alexandr Averin (contemporary Russian impressionist painter)
@Hope
Riding my bicycle, reading comics, playing boardgames with friends.
@HealingTalk Sounds so fun!
@trueconfidant123
Yes!
As fun as it can get!
So carefree, relaxed and untroubled!
But I got useful things from those: independence from exploring with my bike my neighborhood and beyond. Love for reading, from devouring comics. And social skills from playing rule-based board games.
@HealingTalk I'm happy to hear that it's been beneficial for you. It is fun to keep exploring our interests.
@trueconfidant123
Thank you!!
Yes, I continued to be an explorer, in other realms...
Playing with dolls or playing "house", we called it mahumbwe in our language. We would act like a family and I was usually the mom. We'd use mud, leaves water sticks, you name it, to make food, have the dad going to work, have kids, even a baby. It was really fun ✨
Watching Barbie in the dream house and Mr Bean (those 2 were my addiction as a kid)
