Little-Kid Glee

When I was in my first spring semester of college, I was taking my first semester of Chinese. I would get so excited after every Chinese lesson, I'd practically beg any Chinese friend I had to let me practice small words with them. Even if it was just, "Hi, how are you?" It was like opening a child's eyes, in  sense, to a new passion that would stick with them for life.

Ever see a little kid when they learn something? It's probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The way their eyes light up when they've grasped something they were taught. Afterwards, they've got to show this new thing they've learned to every person they see. The weird thing is when adults do it. Not because they're excited about what they've learned, but in some cases it can be seen as bragging.

No matter what age, that little-kid glee always shows whenever someone learns something new about their passion. Personally, I love watching that in people. It's a great thing. No matter the age, the eyes light up the same whenever someone discovers something new or grasps a new lesson.

These days, I've been busing myself with projects so I can get that Little-Kid glee back. I gave up on trying to find my old Chinese books for now. But once I've found them, you better believe I'll be pouring myself into them again so I can remember the reading and writing part. I'm surprised at how much I still remember of the speaking. Reading and writing, however, is a different story.

It's been surprisingly hard for me to get the Glee back. The closest is when I create things. Whether it's making a new blog post or writing a new story, or making movies on my computer or creating my covers of different songs. I thoroughly enjoy creating. That same kind of inner peace I get when I was learning Chinese.

 I don't like to not learn. I feel like I'm wasting my brain. If I can learn something. Anything, my little-kid glee might come back. One can only hope.

Now to give this place a smile. Awkward pic of the post!
