A canvas for splashing my thoughts of the day onto. This could get abstract indeed. |
| Notes Day 2 ▼ I haven't made any significant purchases lately, but I will have to soon. My mobile phone has started to act up, so it's only a matter of time before I need a new one. And with the amount of use mine gets, I would say it's definitely a significant buy. Good for the environment, good for the creativity. I'm at that awkward stage with my phone, where I have to really consider the risks carefully. There are so many pros and cons to weigh against each other. On one hand I've always really hated to change my phone before I've really "used it up". I don't like throwing something away just because it's getting a bit old and more difficult. On the other hand, it's such an essential tool in my life that I can't have it breaking down on me at an inconvenient moment. And that's not even getting started on the financial factors. It won't be a big change in my life style, though. The biggest change I've been working on is trying to learn some seeing. I would like to be one of those clever people who don't make their own clothes, either from scratch or from thrift shop finds. Good for the environment, good for the creativity. Oh, yeah, and I plan to buy a guitar. I always plan to buy a guitar. One day I'll learn to play it too. I would like for that to be my personal new normal some day. Guitar playing and good, self-made clothes (maybe I should have been born a hippie?). As for society's new normal, the world has gone through some scary changes in recent time. It's strange how, no matter how much I learn about world history, it's always a surprise when the big scary things actually happen in my own life time. Pandemic. War in Europe. Propaganda. It's just not supposed to happen "for real". On one hand it feels like we're discovering new normals, on the other hand it's like we're rediscovering history. Some things really are new, though, and it's up to our generation to figure it out (looking at you, Environment). It all gets too much and too gloomy to think about all the time, though. Maybe I should risk waiting to update my phone and just go for the guitar instead. We could all do with some cheering up these days. |
