the 7 happy peas


the 7 happy peas

1/ happy
2/ artistic
3/ friendly, loving and kind
4/ a dreamer
5/ outrageous, adventurous, wild and crazy
6/ outgoing and fun
7/ best cook in the world

there are perfectly good reasons behind each of the personalities I've chosen.

but a shot of what they now look like :)

'the happy peas'

the second self

it took a long time to come to conclusion as to what i'd rather be

though i'm not happy in my current body, i'm very appreciative of what i already have

so then i thought, I'd like to be a pea

a happy pea with no worries of mortgages, how to get through life without money, always looking forward to pay-day so you can get your bills out the way

and the cycle goes on and on and it never ends, like the call it in 'Poor dad, Rich dad', the rat race

I've decided to make 7 individual peas, each representing a personality I'd like to have
As suppose to making myself a superstar, a model, a guy, another human being altogether, 'cause it means nothing to be shallow like that

it's the depth of personality that matters the most in my views

e.n.c.o.u.n.t.e.r

the journey all of us took to get to where we are today

we all went our different ways and made different decisions - yet we still manage to be here, together, at this moment in time

so different, but how come such different experiences and decisions in life allowed us to now be together at this moment in time?

how did it happen?

well, beginning with objects seen on the floor, many may not think twice about its history and how it came about being there at the moment in time when you walked by - but objects like that, in an interactive way of thinking, must have belonged to somebody at some point in time.

it ended up where you saw it either because the owner dropped it by accident or left it there because it wasn't wanted - now whatever the reason maybe the point is at that moment in time, you and the 'object', be it a piece of trash, a toy, a fiver or an earring, you and the object shares one thing that is unique - the encountering of each other, because you're both there at that single moment in time - and the experience can reactions can never be the same

so then it wasn't a piece of trash on the floor anymore, it's now a person - nothing changes, it's the same theory - meeting different individuals gives you different experiences - and can never repeat itself exactly(though it could be alike it will never, ever be the same experience)

asking somebody the question 'so tell me something interesting about you' could lead to awkward silences as most people find it hard to do so - it's such a vague question and i hate it
but by asking the right question, most people will show more involvement and be more engaged in the conversation

this, ladies and gentlemen, is what interactivity is all about

'asking the right question'

by doing that, it could even be easier to share your experiences, feelings and perspectives with a stranger
it works better than the person closest to you asking the wrong question, if asked at all

it all tends to unravel itself - after all, all of us aren't that indifferent and somewhere along the line, even the most unthinkable and unrelated people would share to some degree experiences that are alike


it's all interactivity
