Fashion & Games "My experience of childhood

When I get stressed about work, relationships, or the bills, I relax, talking to my friends. One of my Favorite conversation topics is childhood memories and games. Listening to my friends talk about the things they enjoyed while they were minors always reminds me of my own childhood. My imagination takes me back in time to a place where life was much more fun and much easier. There was no problem, reports, deadlines, customers, damage or taxes. Life is divided into the school and the school with some homework only interrupted for a moment that shows the cartoons and games with their siblings, friends or cousins.

When I think about it, makes me think of one of a song from one of the films of Charlie Brown: "It may be a kind of magic that only children can do. "Certainly felt that way. Santa came all the way from the North Pole each year, fatal injuries can be cured with a kiss from mom, and even monsters and pirates lurking in the house, you can always defeat them with the help of Dad. Moreover, there was no taxes, no telephone, electricity and gas bills, no debts, no mortgage payments, messages dating to decipher, without presuppositions, without exploitation online no commission to pay, no calories to count, no light food, no hangovers, no worrisome medical tests, etc.

Of course, no point in trying to find a machine to travel through time and return to the 70s again, but still relaxing to remember my childhood. Those were days.

When I turned 7, my father decided to make an educated and literate child of me. This meant the replacement of toys books for the rest of my childhood. Although time learned to love my books, when I felt the world was more or less long. As anyone who has children knows, children learn to use their imagination to have fun with what they have on hand. In my case, that meant clothes. I would like to invite my friends over and dress up games we played all the time. Although initially are intended only mini versions of our mothers, my contact with books and my friends allowed me time to transform into princesses, courtiers, dancers and as the childhood version of Snow White, Wilma Flinstone, Cinderella and Smurfette.

Today, things are different for girls. Them only connect to the Internet and go to a website that offers games of dress. Cinderella and Snow White have been replaced by Hannah Montana and Sakura Card Captors. They dress their new icons with dozens of virtual machines with the click of the mouse pointer around the screen. They are easier and they should. However, call me old-fashioned but I still prefer the road. He encouraged the building of relationships among girls. I am proud to say that a couple of girls playing dress up games to remain an important part in my life, and they have helped me overcome some of the most difficult events that have happened to me.
