what if life was the best thing going. I was thinking how much easier life would be if I could look at It as the destination. What I mean is that our culture puts so much emphasis on achievement that I never feel like I get there, because there is always something else to achieve. Maybe if I could see life as the achievement. That being alive is enough, and that life is the most important thing. I am there. I made it. All the things that I do in the sphere of life are just add ons, a little spice, like cinnamon. I like this idea so much, because it takes off much of the pressure that society applies to the ideas of success, and being good enough. We are already good enough, being human is entitlement. I am there, man.
Today I worked on Day 28 - honesty
My name is Thomas Stollar. This is my last semester of graduate school at WVU. My thesis deals with introspection, and gaining a better understanding of how everyday experiences shape human character. The project is process oriented with the intention of documenting my most thought provoking experience for each day of January 2012. Each experience will be symbolically decorated onto forms like these. In the end all of the forms will compose a metaphorical version of my personality.
