I have 21 days until I get on the plane. My place is a mess. I am missing important papers
I have been talking (a lot..too much?) about my upcoming trip..about packing my life to fit into storage and 2 suitcases.
A good friend of mine ( an immigrant from eastern Europe) said she knows what it is like to put your life into 2 suitcases.
This got me thinking…
A large percentage of Canadian are immigrants ( > 40% in Toronto I believe)
So is packing up your life, concentrating on what is the important parts of living, packing up your life into 2 suitcases, is now part of the Canadian psych?
Several time over the last week people have told me about how envious they are of what I am doing ( packing up and going on an extended trip)
This has me thinking about my life, and its ups and downs ( right now I will do anything to distract me from packing).
I remember when some of my friends left on an extended trip to Europe, and how I felt then. I wanted to go so much, especially since I was part of the planning process, but I did not go.
My inability to organize my fiances, my unwillingness to leave the “safety” of where I was, keep me home, instead of on a plane across the ocean.Â
Having a camera has been an important part of my life… an important part of who I am.
The ability it gave me to interact with people… the freedom it gave me to explore, felt really comfortable
Most of my life I have been happiest with a camera in my hand.
Over the past 2 years I went through a period when I did not want to pick it up…
I was turning away work. It would be weeks between touching my camera.
I did not want to face the my friend ( the camera) it had become my enemy.
It became a chore to do a shoot.
I am extremely organizational challenged.
Paper just seems to reproduce overnight.
Clothes jump out of closets to land on the floor.
I have trouble finding the top of my desk.
