Rereading this discussion I realise that I also see colours in my mind linked to certain smells. There used to be a cologne called “Othello”…I just described it to someone as “dark mossy green with flashes of gold.”
They don’t make it anymore, unfortunately.

The need to preserve what is percieved as “freedom” can indeed become a trap. I see it so often in college students and recent grads…they can only spend about 2 years in any one place, or job, or relationship, or friendship. A friend of mine called it “fleeing forward.” They have to keep moving on…but someday they’ll come to the end of the line and all their friends will be behind them. And it will be lonely out there.

I trapped myself in the thought that it’s ridiculous to “do what you love” for a career.

Three years into an intense four year tech school, I realized how incredibly miserable I’d been for at least ten years of my young life. I graduated with honors, and I set off to backpack around the world and hit the “Reset” button.

Five years later, I’m still hitting the “Reset” button. I’m starting to wonder if this, too, is a trap.

My startling ability to shake my head–and say yes. Allowing people to take advantage of my flexibility. It took me about 35 years to learn to say “no” and make it stick. As Jane Austen said, there are people that the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves. And I would add, the less they appreciate it. When it gets to the place they only criticise and notice what you haven’t been able to do, not what you’ve done…it’s time to get out of the trap.

I personally never feel more transparent, invisible than when someone is looking at me.

Jas Bird: I picked a photo online at random, not sure exactly where it came from. I redid the eyes, the shadows forming the cheekbones, nose and chin. I also drew new hair and did some other stuff. It seems I have inadvertently turned a picture into a picture of you—without even knowing what you look like!

Hey, I’m just wondering.. Where did you get the photo for this piece? I’m just asking because it looks pretty much exactly the same as a photo that was taken of me in my fathers kitchen, maybe six years ago now..
I’m curious. I’ve stared at it for a few hours, and it’s still me. Even if it’s not.. Kinda creepy. Is there a doppelganger out there somewhere?
