People have been asking me in what language I think. I really have no idea. I think it's a mixture of languages. It depends on the situation or with the people I'm with at that moment. But here's what I think:
- I curse in English and Papiamentu.
- I count in Chinese.
- I act gangster in Papiamentu.
- I speak Chinese and Papiamentu loudly in my dreams.
- I express my anger in Papiamentu.
- I'm most fluent in Papiamentu.
- My Dutch vocabulary is the best in all the languages I can speak.
- I'm more fluent in English than Dutch.
- I love mixing languages and I find it often hard to speak solely one language.
Seems like the language I'm most comfortable with is Papiamentu. No wonder, I grew up in Curacao.
Languages make me go crazy, as in the way I become when I hear a language that I like, such as French.

Creativity
Suddenly a piece of my childhood appeared in my mind. I remembered my little brother and me playing with a doll house. It contained really small pieces of toys. We built a house with every piece of furniture and fence. We drove the little car around. Let the 2 dolls, as the owners of the house, talk.
I've come to think that since we were little we have started to think creatively. Making up stories when playing with toys comprises a part of our creative thinking. We have contributed to the skill of being creative since our childhood.
A question is: will a childhood with many toys and friends to play with increase one's ability of being creative?
