I made my list and it wasn't too hard, but then I went to take pictures and that's when the challenge began. As I walked around my house I realized that I value a lot of things. Come the next day when I was trying to add the pictures to my poster I realized I had about ten too many. What started as a simple project lead me down a path that ended with me sitting at my desk contemplating life.
At first I put on stuff like the song "Deutschland" by Die Prinzen and the color blue. But I realized if we are going for just the little things, narrowing it down is going to be pretty much impossible. So I went to opposite side of the spectrum and take it in a really literal sense. Now my list consisted of things like oxygen, water, and the letter "t." But then I started to wonder, do I need the letter "t?" This are the questions that haunt me.
So I had a dilemma. I wish I could say that I picked out the stuff I ended up going with after meditating for an hour, but I'm not that creative. Honesty time. I made my choices based on the quality of the picture. I know. I know. But as I wrote the little paragraph for each item, I realized how import they really are. I think that fate put those things on my poster for a reason. The next question is what to friends, sneakers, fish, music, family, an old mini van, tomato soup, space, Pope Francis, and notebooks have in common?
