We have the power to create our own worlds: Where it is, who's in it, what happens in it, how we adjust, and why we chose it. My own personal world starts with the Earth and continues deeper into the USA-Illinois-Chicago-Wilmette-My home address- and ends with my bedroom. My room is my own personal world. It's covered in music posters, tapestries, pictures, and artwork. Going deeper and you could look through my clothes, makeup, and toiletries that are spread out everywhere you look. My room mirrors me in that it shows off my style, personality, and interests, what I enjoy. I chose this setup because I feel comfortable in it. If one of my friends came into my room, never having seen it before, they would say something along the lines of, "This is so Carrie." But the reality is, it's not completely me, I'm completely me. It may tell everything about me, but it isn't me. I am my own person and the world around me can only go as far reflect, like a mirror, but it literally cannot be me.
You're a fan of the Doors and The Beatles? You have wonderful taste, my friend!
ReplyDeleteGreat examples of "world creating," Carrie. A teenager's bedroom might be the single best example that many people can relate to.
Here's a suggestion: what are some of the aspects of your "personality and interests" that's conveyed in the image you shared?
I agree that bedrooms are one of the few places that mirror who we are because we spend so much time there, and that's where all of our stuff resides. Is there an object in particular that particularly defines who you are in your room?
