Everyone has that warm feeling when we remember the time when we were little boys and girls. The childhood is a time of simple joys, free of any depressions. Whenever I have some free time, I imagine my childhood and how happy I was. The only work I had to do was learning in the school, but after that my life was perfect, I could play with my friends without any plans. I remember I was really happy when my father bought my favorite dolls; I often try to get the same feeling today, and seems to be very difficult to feel yourself happy and not worry about your future.
I remember it well how I played with my favourite Barbie doll and how they used to be alive every time I wanted them to be. The feeling I got whenever I waited for Santa is still alive in my soul. I was always waiting so long for Christmas morning, asking myself if I was a good daughter during the year.
Nowadays all I think about is my credits that have to be paid before the end of the year, my boss, and my personal life. And if that’s not enough, my blood pressure is getting higher. I miss my the time when I was a kid !
Once, my father and mother defined that I had became too adult for toys and began giving textbooks instead of dolls. I hated all these books, however I later I learbed to love literature. Now books are my hobby. Nevertheless I still dream I might have played much more with my youth friends. I and my friends used to play Barbie dress games. It was funny, and I forgot how wonderful it is to go into a world of fairy tales. I and my friends used to hange out for days and played fashion games till the evening when my mother called me. So, the awful fact that they stopped giving me Barbie dolls didn’t stop me from playing and having fun. Actually dress up games helped me and my friends increase our imagination.
We usually entertained ourselves to come up with more interesting dolls. Probably that helped one of my friends in their career. Mary is an artist and another is a cartoonist and they are both very professional at their work. Maybe our dress games helped them become so good in art and design.
Nowadays, everything is so simple. Little girls can just sit in front of a PC, and with no effort, girls can play any fashion games. I and my friends had to meet in order to play Barbie dress games and ,certainly, that improved our social skills a lot. We often sit and talk: I and my school playmates, and we remember about those good times.
