Diary entry - 25/10/24
I really just wanted to create something, to write something.
It's so easy to get lost in the consumer role. Watching, listening, buying - that's not really what makes us who we are, is it? Is it? It's not like you can't have an active role in what you are consuming. You can read with a critical mind. You can watch a show and have thoughts about it. But it's easy to be less than that. To watch something, and read someones thoughts about it, and let that be it. Once I've been in that kind of role for some time I feel completely drained and empty as a person. This isn't why I'm here.
I have made some things lately. I made a crocheted pumpkin, and it's adorable. I painted my nails carefully, they're so shiny now. Small things like that is enough to break through the passive consumer role and make me feel human again. Granted I had to buy yarn and nail polish, but that's not buying for the sake of buying. It's consuming with the idea of a cute pumpkin vivid in my mind.
Goodnight diary.
