Susanne - if it ain't broke, break it! Started conversation Mar 19, 2006
I've noticed something...when you get to leave your stuff behind, there's just *you* left.
I mean, it became somewhat clear to me how much we (well, I
) define ourselves through our things, stuff, clothes, furniture, fancy gadgets, posters, little memorabilia etc. And what is left when you take all that away? I definately don't like the thought that I might be a boring person without my things.
I liked to decorate my room in a way that would be interesting for people visiting me, but isn't that just image? Image is nothing, thirst is everything
or what was that comercial? Oh and one of my favorite movies, American Beauty: Kevin Spacey shouting: "It's just a COUCH! This isn't life, this is just stuff." True, I think. Maybe.
I'm curious now, when I leave my image somewhat behind when I move in two weeks time - will I be open to persuasion/suggestion more than before? It was something like a comfort to have a set image. And will feel lost? Probably. And after that has gone away...will I be closer to the true *me*? We shall see. I think it's time I give a little more attention to my diary, to keep analysing myself and look for changes and their causes.
Oh, and totally different subject: Let's all hope that demonstrations in Belarus tonight will be peaceful. I'm scared that there might be terrible violence by the police and military.
