Played dolls with a 5 year old~

Today was pretty good.

I pushed myself to go outside more. I really like being indoors (like a crab lol)

So today whenever my sister asked me "Do you want to go to______ with me?" in my mind I was thinking "I rather stay indoors" I answered "sure!"

I had a lot of fun.

We went to a 5 year old b-day party. It was my sister's friend's daughter's b-day.

There were no other children there. That's kind of tragic. She was playing alone with her toys that she got for her b-day. She was trying to get a lady to play with her but the lady didn't want to. It's her birthday :( Not only that but I don't want those memories to haunt her. It's like no one wanted to play with her. That could be hard for a kid y'know.

So I sat down with her and we played dolls! lol I really got into it wondering what would happen next. It was a lot of fun.

But before that I was reading a book and I wanted to get back to reading. Then I ended up playing two rounds in this fighting game called Mortal Kombat with some random guy hahaha I haven't seen a Nitendo 64 in ages.

She didn't want me to stop playing. Kids love to be noticed (I realized). I think the attention we give to children will make them feel worthy in life.

I can only speak for myself. But I wonder if it's for other children. I think about my childhood, and I think of all the things that have happened to me and I say to myself "if I can make a difference, make one person happen, help build one person up and see them be happy, than that is just the best thing to me!" It's better than any amount of money.

Yeah, money is good. But my heart soars when I see someone smiling and feeling grateful. Of course I like people to acknowledge my work, however, I get very embarrassed when they thank me. It's not that I'm not happy they don't thank me lol but the feeling is very overwhelming. Their sincerity makes me happy.

Anyways, I had fun playing with her. She told me all about the letters she's learning in school (she started recently) she told me about the letters and numbers she was having difficulties learning. She wrote her name on a piece of paper. And although it wasn't spelt correctly I was happy she showed me :3
