If it hasn't become noticeable, I am trying to involve myself if blog projects so that I can expand my reader base. As I talked about in my creativity radvent post, I am very shy about sharing my ideas and thoughts with other people but I think these projects may help me with that.
A blog called Yours and Theirs is doing a series where each week you are prompted to take a picture of something ordinary. I like it because it makes you notice the small things that may be looked over on a daily basis. Participants of this project are supposed to email in their photos to be displayed on the yours and theirs blog but I think I'm going to skip that step. Hopefully, since its weekly, I'll be able to keep up on it better that the daily radvent. I'm a week behind on this project so I'll upload both "yours and theirs" pics today.
And speaking of Radvent...
I think the topic of yesterday's radvent carries over quite nicely to this one because I feel like creativity and performance go hand in hand. It's hard to preform something that isn't your own. The topic asks a hard question; are you the audience or the director of your show that is life? I think right now, I'm the paid actress. I make my own choices but they are al guided by my job, my parents, my boyfriend, etc. If I were the director, I could (not saying I would) just pick up and leave without a thought. As of now, my career choice, my major, my relationship, and everything else is under a constant surveillance to ensure that I don't make any mistakes- and those words of caution that I choose to ignore are criticized. So, yes, I am the actress of my show.
Right now, I preform in my job, which I love more than anything. Currently, I'd say it's my biggest stage. It's my own. While of course I have a boss and customers to satisfy, I get to run my portion of the studio the way I want to. It is something my parents have not done, I am an important factor in the business, and all of the families like me. I get to go there everyday and joke around with kids, parents, and my coworkers, do something that I find to be meaningful, and be myself. I'd say I'm very much in my element when I go to work every day (all in slippers and ninja pants, I may add).
Week 1: The view from a window in your house.
I am dog-sitting at my parents house for a part of this week which works out for this topic because its much prettier here than it is at my little apartment.
Weeks 2: A recent gift you've been given.
First of all, I don't understand why this is the topic for week 2 seeing as Christmas is so close. I mean who really receives gifts two weeks before Christmas?! This should be the day after Christmas topic. But enough judgment upon the week 2 topic...Here is a beautiful bouquet of flowers that my wonderful Jakob bought me before our Ice Skating date last week. Go ahead, be jealous of our cuteness!
