<human>: I was in 4th grade and I loved to play with toys. Absolutely loved it. But then one day, I asked myself that what purpose does this serve me? I came to the conclusion that it didnt do anything for me besides make me happy when I was playing with these miscellaneous action figures and such.  In the real world, it doesnt do anything for anyone. After that moment of clarity, I decided to only to invest in things that could be more useful to me later in life. However, this was a wrong viewpoint to follow. As a child, we are meant to be happy and enjoy the little things in life. At least that is what I think. I feel like I lost a little bit of my childhood because of the fact that I became aware. Now, as a adult, I try to take advantage of as many things that make me happy. When I had this realization as a child, I sacrificed happiness in order to try to be more adult-like and now as an adult, I yearn for the childhood innocence and bliss that I once had. But I wouldnt trade my perspective changes in my life for anything. I learned that happiness is the true currency of life and I try not to take away the happiness of others if I can help it. I guess this is getting off topic now but I just had to get this out there. Thanks for reading if you got this far and I hope you all have a happy and wonderful and fulfilled lives!

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: I realized that toys were meaningless objects in life, but they brought happiness. Isnt that what everyone wants? When were children, we want to be adults and vice versa.
