Have you ever had that feeling, like a spark of joy that you never knew was there?
A little escape that you never knew you needed so badly?
Or the sense of 'let's do it' and go ahead without much thought?
Life has been quite stagnant, nothing interesting, nothing new.
Aren't you too old to be playing with such toys? Grow up!
It is going to be an useless ornamental piece, collecting dust.
Isn't it such a waste of money? You need to start saving up.
I bought it anyways, it has been sitting in my shopping cart for far too long. Just a quick click, and I bought it. Was it impulse buying? Or did I just want to go against what people say?
A tiny miniature dollhouse, that what it is.
Fitting into a metal tin, no bigger or wider than my hand.
I sat there fixing it, a little bit everyday.
And slightly over a week, I finished it.
It draws me away from reality. Every time I sit down to have a look at it or fix another detail into it, I feel calm, relaxed and carefree. It isn't an emotion that I have felt in ages. How can something so miniature bring me so much joy and happiness. Not once did I complained about it being too small. Not once did I get irritated with the glue covering my fingers and making a sticky mess. Not once did I feel it was a chore to complete it.
Is this what doing something I really enjoy feels like?
For once, I feel the rising motivation to finish what I started and to do it well.
