| What I realise
| My Relationship with the Creative
The fact that I’m 7 years younger than my brother and 9 years younger than my sister forced me to grow up in quite a competitive and mature environment. Children book is a rather foreign thing to me. Of course, I have read some children books, was told some tales and all those children-ny stuff but it felt lacking and insignificant. However, upon discovering her through my friend (they’re related), I grew to be more familiar with those kind of writing and intrigued by the fact that I’m entertained though I don’t understand what’s going on in the book. That makes me think about how our mind develops. As we grow up we question things that is out of ordinary. For example, in Baek Heena’s “Cloud Bread”, two kittens were able to fly after eating a bread baked from cloud. My first thought was that it's unrealistic and childish. But in the world of the book, it doesn’t have to make sense. After that, I realise that it’s true how people tend to be less creative as they grow up. We think more logically, analytically, and rationally. A child could believe themselves to be something they’re not, be it a dinosaur, plants, gorilla, Spiderman, and countless things that adult wouldn’t imagine themselves to be. Growing up being the youngest child strayed me from those imaginations. At a really young age, I remember myself thinking that stories that has talking animals in it are stupid, that some idea in those books are not plausible. Now I’m starting to understand why children book is a wonderful thing. Not because of its remarkable situation or imagination. To me it’s how an adult could connect with a mind of a child. Having never been that kid really saddens me, but I’m glad that I can at least appreciate something that I’ve overlooked for my whole life
