When you’ve had enough banana muffins
Sunday 29th March
13th day under lockdown
Apparently, my personality boils down to a banana muffin and a good book.
My recent art assignment being "represent yourself without being physically shown in the artwork" I spent two days overthinking what could I possibly use to represent myself. And that’s when my mother and sister kindly reminded me that my identity could sum up to laziness, inaction and negligence (aka: a banana muffin poised on a book).
My forever lasting inertia.
Of course I am a somewhat "slow" nature but I would’ve thought that it wouldn’t be the totality of my being. I didn’t have the impression of flattering myself when I thought that I maybe had other sides to my person.
Does enjoying just staying in bed for a few hours mean eradicating every other facets of my nature ? Does adoring banana muffins and chocolate and any other form of appreciable food make me piggish and gluttonous ? Does not caring what others think and taking pleasure into the thing I like forces me to be arrogant or ostensive ?
Why can’t I be a bit slow AND lively ? Good eater AND healthy ? Sleepy AND cheerful ? And can I also be sarcastic, happy, creative, dreamy, loud, energetic, lazy, determined, greedy, merry, optimistic, pessimistic, involved, tired, funny....?
My life is NOT summarized by SLUGGISHNESS.
So for my art assignment, I’ll do what I want to. And it won’t be banana muffins. Period.
