Greetings to everyone at Holus&Lotus, have a blessed day, today I share with you my response to the @Miriannalis Initiative "Be like children", I invite @chacald.dcymt to participate
I currently feel very connected to my inner child, in my childhood I experienced many financial deprivations in the countryside where I grew up, however, I am grateful for the healthy childhood I had, away from the dangers of urban society, but I also had many brothers and sisters, although there was no money for toys, I played until adolescence because before girls did not develop as early as now and that is why we continued to play house, cooking imaginary food and also climbing trees to play, but if I start to analyze my child childhood and as I see it now there were many obstacles, for example we did not have electricity and that is why we did not have television, I do not feel connected to any of that from the past, when I became a teenager I was only distracted as something technological by having a battery-powered radio to listen to music.
I have no resentments about my childhood, my parents did what they could financially, but today I have reconnected with my childhood by becoming a grandmother, because I play a lot with my grandson Rafael who lives with me, being the only child in the house he only has his soul and me to play with, that allows me to connect with that childish side, on the one hand I have taught him to play traditional things like dominoes, the Spanish deck of cards and metras for example.
In return, my grandson has taught me to enjoy things that I simply did not pay attention to before, for example, he has tried to teach me how to play Mario Bros, I had never taken control of one of these Nintendo, I am quite clumsy at that, but nothing takes away from being able to enjoy a while with my grandson, letting my inner child out.
Growing up without a television, I never had any kind of fondness for children's cartoons, but a few days ago when I was with my grandson for the first time I paid attention to one of the cartoons he was watching, that afternoon I realized that I really enjoyed the Scandalous Eyes cartoon, I never imagined that I would like something like that, so I feel that my child self would have enjoyed it too, I'm not ashamed to admit it, I enjoyed the cartoon and I appreciate paying attention, they do the same A few weeks ago I enjoyed the two Spiderman movies with my grandson, I had never seen those movies, they are not my particular taste, but I allowed myself to enjoy a marathon afternoon of that type of content.
Connecting with my inner child is now easier, I have overcome bad memories and at the same time I am creating new childhood memories of my grandson by my side. This children's day I took him to the park and adults are not allowed to go on the park's attractions, but I enjoy seeing him there, I never had the opportunity to go to the park when I was a child because they did not exist where I lived, but I observe and I am grateful for this experience that I have now, I thank God for my childhood and for my current self, internally connected with that naive and shy girl that I always was.
