DIARY ENTRY #5
POST TOUR REFLECTION
I NOTICED THAT I WAS IN A CONSTANT STATE OR FORM OF ANXIETY. EVERY LITTLE DETAIL WORRIED ME. SOMETIMES, THE OPPOSITE ALSO OCCURRED - I WANTED TO PARADE THE “COOL” THINGS THAT I’M DOING OR SEEING.
ON TRAVELLING: WHAT IF MY PHONE DIES AND I GET LOST? I NEED TO SHOW EVERYONE WHERE I AM!
ON EATING: WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE THE PLACE? WHY CAN’T THE FOOD BE MORE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING?
ON FASHION: WHAT IF IT LOOKS DIFFERENT ON ME? WHAT WILL OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF WHAT I’M WEARING?
ETC. ETC.
AS A 21ST CENTURY CONSUMER, I BELIEVE THAT I AM PART OF A GROUP THAT CONSUME ANXIOUSLY - ALWAYS WORRYING ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT THING, HINDERING OUR “TRUE” EXPERIENCE. I WAS CONSUMED IN TAKING PHOTOS EVERYWHERE I WENT DURING THE TRIP SIMPLY TO SHOW OFF.
I ALSO OVER-INDULGED IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. I EXHAUSTED MYSELF TO THE POINT OF GETTING SICK AS I WAS WORRIED THERE WERE THINGS OVER THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE BACK HERE IN PERTH. THE ENTIRE TRIP, I HAD THIS OVERWHELMING FEELING OF KEEP DOING MORE EVERYWHERE I WENT.

DIARY ENTRY #4
SEPTEMBER 29, FRIDAY AFTERNOON
I LEFT MY PHONE IN MY BAG AND MY CAMERA AT HOME DURING THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE TOUR. I WAS A MESS.
RATHER THAN IMMERSING MYSELF IN THE TOUR AND THE SPACE, I WAS CONSUMED WITH IRRITATION. HOW DARE I LEAVE SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT? I WASN’T ABLE TO TAKE THE PHOTOS I WANTED, WHEN I WANTED. I HOVERED AROUND MY FRIENDS ANXIOUSLY SO I WAS ABLE TO BORROW THEIR CAMERAS/PHONES AFTER THEM. I WAS UNABLE TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE DESIGN AND ITS HISTORY DUE TO TO MY IRRATIONAL ANGER.

CONSUMED IN CAPTURING PHOTOS RATHER THAN CONSUMING THE FOOD. ANXIOUSY CAPTURING MOMENTS.
