Journal Entry # 7: MY MATERIAL SELF
My Most Prized Possessions
These are my most prized possessions: my gadgets for online studying, my grooming/hygiene materials, clothes, and my pet dog!
Reflection on my "Material Self"
Seeing these possessions I have, I realized that my material
self has a message for me to convey. It reminds me that I am so blessed by God.
Not only do these reflect who I am but
also manifest God’s love for me.
I learned to accept
these things I own as an extension of myself – especially my pet dog. My
collection of clothes makes me feel satisfied while my grooming items attend to
my most cathected body part – the face. Probably, losing maybe one of these
stuffs I had will make me feel like something is missing in me.
