Tonight at dinner I was telling my mom and sister that it would be interesting to see what my stress looked like if it were on the outside instead of bottled up in silent terror.
I've been a little stressed today, if you can't tell.
We all joked about it. Christine said it would be like some kind of intense aura, Mom said it would be red to convey the stress, and I said that wasn't good enough, that it would have to be noisy as well as bright.
Fireworks were mentioned.
I thought about it after dinner and thought it would be fun - and perhaps therapeutic - to try and represent my internal struggles from today in a picture.
This is what I came up with. The scribbled lines around my head equal the noise and confusion I've been feeling all day, and my expression is what I've been doing all day as well. I'm pretty sure I wiped my makeup off by 10 this morning.
To get this shot, I set up my camera in my room after I drew the squiggly lines all over some paper on my wall, then I set my camera to take a picture every second (like in a photo booth), that way I would have a chance to think of a good way of expressing my anxiety. The result was pretty funny, and did help to alleviate my stress a bit.
Below is a GIF file of the experience. I tried to make it into a time lapse video tonight, but my computer wasn't cooperating. My favorite part is when I make that horrible face and crack myself up. See if you can find it.
Pee'd pants period.
ReplyDeleteI loveth you! YOu crack me up!
btw, I was recently told that if someone were to see all the questions in my mind they would be dizzy. My pic might be a little like yours. ha!
this is great! You think of the most interesting things....I never would have thought to take a picture of what I think my stress would look like if it were visible outside my body.
