Play: a word that is so simple yet so profound. Being an only child for the first 11 years of my life, I quickly became adept at entertaining myself. At the time, my family and I lived far away from our relatives and I was—a popular cartoon from the late '80s that revolved around the never-ending conflict between a sword-bearing barbarian and a skull-faced evil lord. Every Friday after school, I got to buy a action figure. To this day, this ritual serves as a core memory—one that brought out something quite extraordinary in me. I would dream of a dozen scenarios while putting on voices to match various characters. To take things up a notch, I would even sit in front of a rotating fan to conjure the paralinguistic utterances of Roboto, a heroic mechanical warrior.
