What’s a thing you were completely obsessed with as a kid?
But not dolls, and little houses and Barbies. My obsession: boys toys. They were ever interesting and functional. Construction tools, cars, radio kits. Designed to make my mind playful and useful. To help me think differently about my destination in life. To get me out of the box that others wanted me to be in.
At least, that’s what I like to think about my childhood choices. At that time I just wanted to play with interesting toys.
Today I realize there is a part of me that wants to play with whatever I want, and be whoever I want, but I’m not moving toward those dreams. Maybe in order to DO that, believe that, I should get new toys that help me truly design that life I dreamed and waited for as a child…
